Summary: The Wizard's Legacy will enchant you.
Review: As a part-time professional magician and performer, I loved this book for its attention to historical detail and Mr. Karges' real love for his art. But my enjoyment of the book doesn't stop there. It is truly a wonderful book. It is full of joy, of clarity, and a love for life so strong and enduring that it almost glows. He captures in a small yet meaningful way what it means to love, and be loved, by another... what it means to find a path in life that gives others, as well as yourself, great happiness... and what it means to leave a legacy for others in the future. In short - buy this book. You won't regret it.

Summary: The Wizard's Legacy will enchant you.
Review: Dorothy's Dream Is To Get To Kansas, but the people around her are all little Munchkins who have not heard of Kansas and would never consider leaving Munchkinland, so she's off to see the Wizard. Along the way, Dorothy teams up with a Tin Man without a heart, a Scarecrow lacking a brain, and a Lion who lacks courage. The team defeat a wicked witch, flying monkeys, and ugly castle guards. After much hardship and pain they arrive in OZ, only to realize they already posses the things they sought. The Wizard affirms the bravery of the Lion with a medal, the intellect of the Scarecrow with a diploma, and the heart of the Tin Man with a clock. But what about Dorothy and Kansas? Dorothy has been wearing the ruby red slippers all along. She simply doesn't know how to use them. The secret to accomplishing her dreams says the Wizard, is to concentrate on it with all her might while saying the right words. Voila! Kansas. Craig's Wizard Legacy is very much like the idea presented above. Your belief in the "power of the mind" will create your own ruby red slippers. The Wizard book was a thoroughly delightful read, something which I will keep to, when and if, pass on to my grandchildren when they are ready to discover the magic within. The writing style was reminiscent of the early book "The One Minute Manager" which presents a story line of life lessons with a series of parables aimed at specific points. Many great patter lines and presentational ideas are contained within. I join with the others who have reviewed the book by highly recommending it for its entertainment, ideas, and the "real magic" it presents. Craig and Jon have produced a great read. Robert

Summary: The making of a Wizard
Review: I'm a skeptic. I've always believed that psychic phenomenon, spiritualists and fortunetelling were all parts of a large pile of BS. Craig Karges "The Wizard's Legacy" about the life of his great uncle Alain "Doc" DeLyle and Alain's effect on 12 year old Craig is a mind expanding yarn. Doc's explanation of his apparent psychic abilities and his attitude toward death and religion are more illuminating than anything else I've read on the subject. I only read this book because I'd seen Craig perform and figured it might be interesting. I fully expected the kind of self serving crap that Kreskin (and Dunninger before him) had published to attempt to build up their reputation. This book is a sincere attempt to help the reader understand a most amazing performer, psychologist, and teacher. This was a surprisingly rewarding book. I had tears running down my cheeks as I read the last chapter.
