Eerie and Magical Places There are certain places in the world that possess an otherworldly feeling, something that sets them apart from the ordinary and takes you into a realm of mystery and enchantment. These places are eerie and magical, drawing you in with their haunting beauty and inexplicable phenomena. One such place is the island of Skara Brae in Orkney, Scotland. This ancient settlement dates back over 5,000 years and was buried under sand until it was discovered in 1850. Walking through the stone walls and examining the perfectly preserved houses, it is impossible not to feel transported back in time. The isolation of the island and the knowledge that humans once lived here so long ago creates a sense of awe and wonder.

The Doors of Deception by Paul Vigil (PDF)
Paul Vigil is the talked about name on the underground scene. A student of Johnny Thompson, Paul is your favorite magician’s favorite magician. All of his material is entirely worked through, and he creates and performs with an intensity that is almost electric. He favors powerful, multi-phased routines that are classical in nature and nearly every trick he does could be classified as a closer.
Doors of Deception is basically Paul’s entire show. Rarely does a professional performer write a book that is a walk-through of their entire show, but that’s what you get here. He starts with the entire setup of his show, his opener, and it goes all the way through until his closing piece. He details his expert (we’d say, definitive) handling of Chicago Opener, as well as a mentalism opener in which you reveal a perfect prediction involving a pen, a business card case, and a keychain.
There is magic described with coins and cards, and his closing piece is worth the entire price of the book.
The book, so far, has only been available directly from him at lectures, and he printed a very small number to keep the material entirely exclusive. What you’re investing in is an entire examination of a professional parlor show.
We have just 20 copies of Doors of Deception. So if you see this item marked “Out of Stock,” we will unfortunately not be able to get more, and Paul has said he will never reprint. If you understand his caliber of material, do not hesitate to pick up what we feel is one of the finest books released in the last year.
Paul also printed an entire deck of Bicycle cards comprised of gaffs explored in Doors of Deception. These decks are $40 and we have just twenty of them as well.

Reviews for "The Bewitching Charms of New Orleans: Uncovering the Magic of the French Quarter"
- John - 1/5 - I was really disappointed with "Eerie and magical places". The book promised to take me on a journey to mysterious locations that would give me chills, but it fell flat. The descriptions were lackluster and failed to create any sense of magic or creepiness. It seemed like the author was just going through a checklist of famous places without any real understanding or appreciation for their eerie qualities. I would not recommend this book to anyone looking for a truly spooky and enchanting read.
- Sarah - 2/5 - "Eerie and magical places" didn't live up to its title in my opinion. While some of the chosen locations were interesting, the book failed to capture the true essence of these places. The descriptions were superficial and lacked depth, leaving me wanting more. Additionally, the photographs included in the book were poorly chosen and didn't do justice to the eerie atmosphere that the book claimed to provide. Overall, I found the book to be unsatisfying and would suggest looking for another source if you're genuinely interested in exploring eerie and magical places.
- Mike - 3/5 - As a fan of eerie and supernatural stories, I had high hopes for "Eerie and magical places". However, I found the book to be a mixed bag. While some of the locations were intriguing and well-described, many others lacked the mystical aura that I was hoping for. The writing style was also inconsistent, making it difficult to fully immerse myself in the stories. I would recommend this book to those who are simply curious about various locations, but not to those seeking a truly eerie and magical experience.
