"52 Memories arrived yesterday. WOW! Apart from being much bigger than I expected, it's one of the most beautifully produced magic books I've seen, and from what tried out so far the material looks fantastic. I'm also very impressed by your usual thorough crediting, attention to detail and the overall look and layout. Altogether really classy product which I'm sure Jack would have been proud of, and which his family will cherish." --Edwin Corrie
"I recieved 52 Memories today and absolutely love it: it is unbelievable. It let me get to know and miss someone I never actually met, and it's going to bother me for longer than you'll know ..." --Pete McEwen
"A month on, I'm still having a great time reading through the Jack Parker book. There are some wonderful effects in this tome! I am taking my time going through it trying out every effect!" --Daren Rotherham
"It's hard to find a good, well presented BOOK about magic instead of DVDs, and this would have to be the best presentation and content I have ever seen in one, full stop." --Alex Norton
"I am very impressed by the quality and the meaning of your writing in documenting Jack Parker's work. It is truly impressive and awe inspiring." --Nick Pudar
"I received my copy today. I am absolutely speechless. I read Jack's foreword and cried. You are to be commended to the highest degree. You have done your (our) friend proud." --Evan Shuster
"You have done a superb job of producing a fabulous looking book. It is absolutely top draw. I never had the pleasure of meeting Jack Parker, and hadn't come across his material before. Being half way through the book, I realise what I've missed, in both cases." --Liam Montier
"It's an excellent book in many ways; the production quality, the effects, the essays, the photos. It's an instant classic, and I hope everyone picks up a copy, as I am sure they will all find something to enjoy." --Erik Jansson
"Andi has done a fantastic job in the production of the book and it is a fitting tribute to a phenomenonly talented magician. There is a wealth of material contained in the book (not to mention an incredibly touching introduction from Jack which was written whilst he was in hospital). This is destined to become a classic." --Chris Jenkins
"I just wanted to let you know that you have done an excellent job with 52 Memories. I hope you sell a ton of these things, because both you and Jack deserve it." --Bob Major
"Through your writing, I feel like I could have been an acquaintance of Jack Parker. You've successfully conveyed to the reader the warmth and pride Jack had in his magic." --David Egleston
"52 Memories arrived yesterday, and I wanted to drop you a short note to let you know how great it is. It was very touching to read Jack's intro; though I never met him (we connected a couple of times over email), I feel I know him, and I feel magic's loss. You should be very proud of this book. I have no doubt that it will be a huge success! Well done." --Mark Ratekin
"It's been while when I felt I have held a 'real' magic book, one you wanted to take your time reading and exploring. With so many e-books and poorly produced ring bound efforts available today this is truly something to be proud to put on your shelf. Thanks for making this available to the magic community." --Allan Rentcome
"Last week I was surprised to find (already!) a huge package coming from the UK, with something like 4 dozens stamps on it. I opened it my eyes were just burning ... I read the introduction that Jack wrote when he was in that hospice and I just couldn't help myself feeling so sad within. I know that I didn't have the chance to ever meet him, but those words touched me like few things have in my life.
"Anyway, I won't be talking for hours about 52 Memories: that would take too much time to write down everything I think about this book! Instead I'll try to find the best words to tell you how big the impact has been on me and will probably keep on being for quite a certain time. So I won't congratulate you about it, the job you did putting this together. Instead I'll tell you the one and only thing which is on my magical mind right now: thank you.
"Thank you for this, for giving me that one special feeling, the same one that I had 10 years ago when I decided that I wanted to do magic after having witnessed René Lavand's "It can't be done any slower" on TV, when I ordered his Mysteries of my Life and took my first zip of it ... that was unique ... until last week. So for making me 10 years younger and making magic seem so magical again since then, thank you." --Fabien Gautier
"I LOVE your and Jack's new book. The tricks are high quality and the quality of the book is superb. Congratulations!" --Andy Pojman
"I feel the necessity to write some words about your incredible book on Jack's art: so incredible beautiful fantastic work. The words about treatment and quality of life are so important. They touch me trough my heart. Thanks for the art." --Cyril Lebris
"I am thrilled. I am not the most efficient card worker, yet! I have been dong magic for four years now and at age 49, it seems like forever to learn stuff. This book is fantastic, I laughed when I began to "play" with Ouroboros. Just practicing it and the revelation "tickled" me. Simply marvelous!" --Tim Flynn
"I got my copy of 52 Memories yesterday in the mail (wow, that was fast Andi!). The book is GORGEOUS to behold, it's physical form is a piece of art. You have outdone yourself this time - it's one of the nicest books I seen in a long, long time." --Peo Olsson
"52 Memories is an awesome tribute to Jack Parker's memory. You did an excellent job... one you can take great pride in having seen it through its production.Thank you for helping Jack achieve his goal of sharing his legacy, and Thank you for all the effort you expended in helping his dream come true." --Darryl V. Harris
