Once upon a time in a small coastal town, there was a legend that if you caught a red fish, your greatest wish would come true. The townspeople believed in this magical power and would often spend hours fishing in hopes of finding the elusive red fish. As the story goes, the red fish would only appear to those who truly believed in its magic. One day, a young boy named Tim was determined to catch the red fish and make his wish. Sporting his lucky fishing hat, Tim set out to the pier with his fishing rod and a heart full of hope. He had been dreaming of having a puppy for as long as he could remember, and he knew that catching the red fish was his only chance of making that dream come true.

The Doors of Deception by Paul Vigil (PDF)
Paul Vigil is the talked about name on the underground scene. A student of Johnny Thompson, Paul is your favorite magician’s favorite magician. All of his material is entirely worked through, and he creates and performs with an intensity that is almost electric.

Doors of Deception is basically Paul’s entire show. Rarely does a professional performer write a book that is a walk-through of their entire show, but that’s what you get here. He starts with the entire setup of his show, his opener, and it goes all the way through until his closing piece. He details his expert (we’d say, definitive) handling of Chicago Opener, as well as a mentalism opener in which you reveal a perfect prediction involving a pen, a business card case, and a keychain.
There is magic described with coins and cards, and his closing piece is worth the entire price of the book.
The book, so far, has only been available directly from him at lectures, and he printed a very small number to keep the material entirely exclusive. What you’re investing in is an entire examination of a professional parlor show.
