Andy Smith is a sensational performer and the cog that keeps everything Alakazam Magic in motion! If you ever get the pleasure of talking to Andy about magic, you'll immediately discover his profound love and respect for our art. More than that, he is a huge book collector and his home library is nothing short of mind blowing! I regularly talk with him about books, our favourites, tricks and idea's from those books and which one to read next. He is an absolute fount of knowledge  and after this hour we spend with him, you'll understand why! Not only do we discuss our favourite books, why they are so and where you can get them but we also deep dive into why some magicians find it hard to learn from books, techniques and ways to get around them and even how to catalogue and store those idea's and tricks you would like to revisit in the future. This is the best discussion on magic books and reading theory I have ever come across and I know it'll open your eyes to the world of the written word!
