The deluxe edition of Before We Begin was limited to 300 copies, signed and numbered by the author. In addition, the book comes in a spectacular slipcase. Now, only three copies remain. After they sell, they will never be available again.

You will also find enlightening in-depth interviews with Luke Jermay, Max Maven, and Penn Jillette. This book will show you how to turn your tricks into miracles.
