Book Review: Devious Deceptions by Steve Skomp

The aptly named "Devious Deceptions," a 65-page, comb-bound book, offers a wealth of varied, visual and entertaining effects-mostly of the close-up variety. This collection of winners, from the diabolical mentalism gaff, to the instantaneous deck changes-decks change sizes and into other objects, offers something for just about every magician. Steve Skomp has indeed created a series of devious, as well as entertaining, deceptions.
