"All in all, this well produced volume is a great adventure into the history of card magic and, when you are interested in the development of magic with playing cards, this book is a treasure trove that is a joy to study."
- Denis Behr, Magie.

"Will has done a fine job, and I think serious students of card magic as well as magic historians and collectors will find much of interest in this volume."
- Matthew Field, The Magic Circular.

"Card-trick aficionados and magic historians will be grateful that Will Houstoun has unearthed and published this centuries-old curiosity. Houstoun has done historians and card-magic lovers a great service by publishing The Notebook..."
- Gabe Fajuri, Magic Magazine.

"The entire project is a treat - an inexpensive adventure in time travel for any reader with some imagination and a passion for card magic and, perhaps, an interest in its history. Climbing into its pages, we get to spend some time enjoying our shared passion with another enthusiast, who, far more like us than different, happened to be doing his tricks a couple of hundred years ago. If that isn't magic, I don't know what is."
- Jamy Ian Swiss, Genii Magazine.
