'Really wonderful.... I picked this one up based entirely on name, a method that has served me just fine in the past, assuming I'd either be conjuring demons or pulling rabbits from hats on the plane ride home. A pretty big win either way. But Alvarado's magic is an entirely different thing altogether. The author describes it as, 'the fine and subtle art of driving yourself insane.' I'd say it's more along the lines of hacking one's perception -- going on reality trips (mostly) within the confines of the law. Apparently Salvador Dali would nod off with a spoon in a hand that would fall into a bucket below, waking him up immediately with its clamor. That blurred line between sleep and waking is said to have informed the master of surreality.'§-BoingBoing§§'Presented in relaxed language...Alvarado seeks to create altered awareness in a way that is accessible.'§- Publishers Weekly §§'Few books are as immediately useful as this delightful, inspirational tips 'n' tricks tome.
