“After many peregrinations this gem finally made its way to its natural habitat, the equator. Thank you Jack Goldstein, on behalf of every single soul you’ve helped through this project I’m immensely proud to have been part of.” - Phedon Bilek 

“Between the covers of 'Panthera' are a collection of mentalism thoughts, effects and essays so diverse that, on closing the book a final time, the reader will be changed for the better. If this transformative journey was not enough, ALL of the money raised goes to a phenomenal charity. ‘Panthera' is the journey you are looking for." - Paul Brook

“I have to say that I always enjoy the essays in modern mentalism and magic books. “The Philosophy of Magic’ by Timon Krause was no exception, as it’s made me think, learn and inwardly digest, it’s a real ‘thinkers’ essay” - SJ
