“Jeff McBride is unquestionably one of this era’s most influential magicians. His new book, The Show Doctor, may become one of the most influential books as well, both because of the content and the format. . . . It is as helpful and useful as Ken Weber’s Maximum Entertainment, which set the standard for show improvement lessons.”
Kleefeld, Jim, M-U-M Magazine 10/1/2012
“It’s a rare thing for a seasoned professional magician to release a book full of such great advice. And that’s why I think The Show Doctor will become an instant classic.”
Dillon, Farrell, Magic Magazine 10/1/2012
“If you already have 50 books on tricks, you can afford to read [this one] to get the most out of them. As prevention is better than cure, a visit to The Show Doctor may prevent an uncomfortable post mortem later.”
