What the Experts are saying: 

"Luis Piedrahita is one of the most brilliant minds in all of magic today.” 

Juan Tamariz 

 

"Luis Piedrahita is one of the world’s great magical thinkers but his skills don’t end there. My only issue with him is that he’s revealing these great idea and effects tot the world and not just reserving the for me!” 

David Blaine 

 

"His presentations are charming and original. He has developed new sleights, and made improvements on old ones. And for magicians who are aware of the importance of knowing not just how an effect works, but why, the essays on magic theory alone are worth the price of the book.” 

David Roth
