Summary: Worth a 10 year wait... mostly
Comment: I've been waiting for this book for about 10 years or so... that's how long it's been since Penn & Teller deified Mac in their book "How to Play With Your Food". The title changed slightly (originally, they said to look for "Playing With Your Head"), and in that time, I had the opportunity to see Mac perform on a few "World's greatest magicians" type specials. Thus, I thought I had a pretty good idea of what to expect. And for the most part, I was right.
The star rating I used above is an average of ratings... if you've never read a book on goofy tricks like these, add a star. The originality will make you snort beverages through your nose when you think about poking your eyeball out with a fork. Gruesome as it sounds, I've done it before, and it's a great gag. Mac even suggests two different outcomes for you to try, depending on how far you want to string the audience along. The novelty of it all will also make you a little more forgiving for certain tricks like sticking a french fry up your nose (to keep more beverages from coming out, of course).
On the downside, if you have read books like this before, deduct a star. There is enough original material here to make up for gags that seem like old chestnuts, and the writing is entertaining and instructive. Regardless, you'll still feel like you've seen a bunch of this already, and odds are you will have.

Summary: Tricks With Your Head
Comment: This book is awesome. I got it from Harrah's hotel in Las Vegas after his show. I even got it AUTOGRAPHED by the man! This book will keep you laughing. You'll make some enemies guaranteed, but as consolation, you'll be peeing your pants because the tricks are so great
Rating: 5
Summary: Use your head - Buy Tricks With Your Head
Comment: This book is great fun. Want to have fun with friends? Buy this book. Want to have fun with kids? Buy this book. You will be doing cool stuff at the next office party, cocktail party - whatever. This is loads of fun. Mac King is one of the funniest guys in the world and he has decided to share some of his funniest stuff with all of us. THANKS MAC! And Thanks to Mark Levy, too!
