"Probably the best manuscript I've ever read on Cards Across was "Across The Void" by Paul Hallas. It was brilliantly written and will tell you more than you'll ever need to know regarding the effect. Complete history, almost every method, etc.." - Steven Youell
"I'm a huge fan of the cards across plot. And…I thought I knew a lot about the effect. Man, I knew nothing until I started reading Paul Hallas's "Across The Void" The writing style is wonderful and the research that went into it must have been a daunting task (definitely a labor of love)." - Review King (The Magic Café).
