Ginóskó: Tricks & Collected Wisdom from a Magician and His Mentors. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798990434004)

Gin?sk? (ghin-oce'-ko) is a Greek word that means 'to know intimately.' It's the personal "knowing" only gained through experiences and relationships. This collection of original routines also includes true stories from my life featuring my closest friends and mentors. My hope is that this book helps you to remember why you became an entertainer, encourages you to pursue excellence, and reignites your perseverance and joy. Welcome to Gin?sk?!

"David Kuraya is the hepatitis of magic." *Edit: "David has asked me to expand on that. What I mean is that he's devastatingly infectious. The guy oozes good vibes and positivity that just stick to you. And now he's bottled that up into book form, where you can feel his smiles on every page. Nestle into Gin?sk? with some magic props, a notebook, and several vaccinations. You'll need 'em." - Tyler Wilson
