His previous book, Jaw Droppers Two, came about when Harry was going through some of his own books like Best of Friends, and came across scribbled notes that brought to mind ideas old and new, along with revised handlings of some of the tricks included there. It's just as anyone familiar with his work might expect: another Lorayne book in a finely produced hard cover, consisting of around 250 pages of quality content. So what is included? And Finally! doesn't depart significantly from the winning Harry Lorayne formula, both in terms of presentation and content. I'm hoping that this book will be an important part of that `legacy'. I've been told that I leave quite a legacy with my quite-a-few books in my two areas of expertise - magic and memory. So, how can this be anything BUT my last book? " It is reiterated on the last page of the book: " Well, I've gone over everything in this, my last, book. Already in his "Foreword" Harry Lorayne insists that this is his last book: " But this really HAS to be my last book because a) I really, really, have nothing important left to say and b) C'mon - I'm ninety-two years old as I write this and I'll be near 93 years old when the book appears - if I'm still vertical. The latest addition to this impressive collection of Harry Lorayne books is his newest title And Finally! (2018).Īfter dozens of books and millions of copies, could it really be true that this is actually Harry Lorayne's final book? Well it's arrived in print, is now available, and it's not just the title that makes a clear statement about that. Now aged 92, he's highly regarded in the magic community for his immense contribution to magic literature, with many fine volumes bearing his name, including his classic Close-Up Card Magic (1962). Besides the huge influence he's had in another area of his expertise - memory training - he's enjoyed a very successful career as a magician and entertainer. Enderįew living magicians are as respected and prolific as Harry Lorayne. I figured that Mr Lorayne's 95th birthday would be the perfect time to re-post it, basically unchanged from how I wrote it around the time it first appeared three years ago. Congratulations Harry! To mark the occasion, I'm re-posting this review that I originally posted on TMF in 2018, because the review disappeared when the entire review part of the forum was deleted some time ago. In some parts of the world it's already May 4th, which is the 95th birthday of legendary magician and entertainer Harry Lorayne.
