Jonny Magic

I was hoping maybe Paluka could chime in on what he thinks about this book. I just stumbled upon it on Amazon the other day.

I don't know if Finkel and Chris still hang out at all, but I haven't heard his name around the WSOP and this makes it sound like he is the main character.

Any comments any of you former Magic geeks (I was one) have about this book would be appreciated.

First I've heard of it but i'm in. Just suck it up and pay the $20, should be entertaining.

sounds interesting. speaking of magic, whatever happened to Kai Budde? i dropped out of the magic scene COMPLETELY say 3 years ago, wondering if Budde intends on graduating to poker. anyway blah blah

showed this to a few friends and former magic pros and they said it sounds fake. who knows...

This is real. I'm pretty annoyed because the guy tried to interview me a couple times for the book and we never managed to get things set up. The description of the book is a little misleading though- Jon has not won millions at poker. And yeah I still hang out with Jon, but not as much as I used to. I have a wife and he works weird hours.

Thanks for the reply Chris. I used to play poker against you at the different PT's around the country, and sadly you are more successful that me at both finance (which my degree is in)and poker.

I'll have to buy this one and add it to the very tall pile of books I have to read.
