Play solo flamenco guitar Advantages: excellen as an insight to flamenco guitar Disadvantages: flamenco is hard! not reccomended for beginners ...book is that this is PLAY flamenco guitar, not LEARN flamenco guitar. There is not much teaching of the techniques that are used in flamenco guitar (if you watch the dvd really closely you may be able to pick some up for yourself), therefore i would reccomend this only to players with experience (not neccesarily in the flamenco style but with a good grounding in playing accoustics and having some ability to play fingerstlye).

From a world of illusion comes a love of delusion Advantages: Nice tricks to have in your top pocket Disadvantages: Hypnotising ...doing some of his core tricks and skills. We start of with a basic coin and card trick, early on setting the parameters that slight of hand, subterfuge and distraction are skills you will need for later on. There are tips and lessons on everything from hypnotism and mind reading, to faking séances and pretending to talk to the dead. Derren has few nice things to say about people who claim to have special powers and charge people money in the process ... ...guys with the same ‘amazing’ results and no one would know the difference. Brown explains in detail how experienced police detectives can use various suggestive memory techniques to get witnesses ad villains alike to produce the statement results they want, SVA (Statement Validity Assement) the method used.

Take a trip to the Square and get more than just a pint of milk! Advantages: exciting, photos, information, facts, price Disadvantages: / BBC Soap 'EastEnders' began back in February 1985, and then nobody knew just how successful it was going to be. Though it seems that it was a hit then and is still today, still going strong twenty four years after it first aired. The thing that surprises me about EastEnders though is its lack of merchandise that has become available. There have been a few videos released highlighting some of the exciting storylines, but other than that the memorabilia ... ...soap, 'Coronation Street', seems to have so much more available to buy. EastEnders just haven't seemed to step up to their level yet with merchandise. From about the age of twelve, I have always adored EastEnders, however around the time of its twentieth birthday, it could be said that I had a rather unhealthy obsession with the soap. I had only been collecting celebrity autographs for a few months but already had written to the entire present cast ...

Funny, there's no mention of McGiffin behaving badly! Advantages: attractive, quite cheap,amusing, McGiffin Disadvantages: / ...full of obsurd stories about celebrities across the globe. To be honest this usually wouldn't appeal to me, but I found myself buying a copy when it was released not too long ago. I'm a sucker for celebrity merchandising. The book, 'Celebrities Behaving Badly' is actually co-written, with Mark Leigh alongside McGiffin. Now I hadn't actually heard of Mark Leigh but doing a quick bit of researching I came to a conclusion that he is quite a popular ... ...are some amusing quotes from celebrities too, such as Paris Hilton: “What's Walmart? Do they sell, like wall stuff?”. With each page it just gets better. There are some unusual ones too, such as Nicole Richie throwing a party and refusing entrance to people if they weigh over 100lb...not only is that insulting and offencive, but the twat clearly doesn't understand the concept of BMI! Though on the whole this is a very pleasant and amusing book. The ...
