Reader and reviewer feedback
"Chris Wardle has the rare knack of devising very good tricks indeed. His magical inventions are always practical, satisfyingly ingenious and slyly deceptive."
Ian Rowland
"This is a book that is a must-read for creative magicians and mentalists."
Michael Breggar, magical creator and regular columnist in The Linking Ring
"Chris is a treasure trove of inventive, commercial ideas, and this book is no different. I can always tell a good magic book by the amount of page corners I have folded down, and I can hand on heart say I turned more corners of Quirky Forces down than any other book."
Preston 'Spooky' Nyman, editor, Mazel Magazine
"There is a wealth of material here, concepts, principles and complete routines, for you to draw upon."
Bob Gill, The Magic Circular, February 2023
"This is an impressive resource that deserves a spot in your library next to the Annemann classic."
Nathan Coe Marsh, Genii Magazine, April 2024
