“Mark Calabrese is the real deal. Sure, he’s been putting out clever and original commercial releases for years. Yeah, he has killer sleight-of-hand chops, particularly when it comes to card table artifice (you have to see him do false deals to truly appreciate what you won’t see). But what really impresses me about Mark is that he is a real-world working entertainer: polished and professional, charming and funny, I love watching him perform for the public. Put it all together and you see why I mean it when I say: Mark Calabrese is the real deal.” -Jamy Ian Swiss

“Mark Calabrese is one of my favorite creators. His ideas are fully thought out, practical, and completely ingenious. If you want magic that absolutely destroys people, Mark is your guy. I purchase very little magic these days, but when Mark releases something, I get it immediately. I’m honestly not sure why he continues to publish. I would keep ideas like these to myself. If you’re looking for magic that is guaranteed to rock peoples’ world, Calabrese is your guy. He is truly one of the best. If you like high-impact material that is guaranteed to deliver astonishment, look no further. If I had a nickel for every time Mark fooled me, I would pay off my house. Then I would hire Mark to keep breaking my brain.” -Ben Seidman
