"Simon Aronson is one of my favorite thinkers in magic, and his legendary reputation is entirely deserved. Simon is an "engineer" of miracles, crafting each effect with painstaking detail. His standards are exacting, and he commits an extraordinary amount of thought to every idea he publishes and performs. Simon puts this same effort into his writing, which is why his books are so revered (and why it has taken him 13 years to finish Art Decko). Art Decko delivers the same high quality we're used to. I am extremely excited about this new collection."
