He recently co-authored David Copperfield’s History of Magic, and his next book, Psychology: Why It Matters, will be published later this year.

His books on psychology, which include The Luck Factor: The Scientific Study of the Lucky Mind and 59 Seconds: Think a Little, Change a Lot, have sold more than three million copies worldwide, and his psychology-based YouTube videos have garnered more than 500 million views.Įlizabeth Loftus, former president of The Association for Psychological Science, described Richard as “one of the world’s most creative psychologists,” and The Independent On Sunday chose him as one of the top 100 people who make Britain a better place to live.

So I was very pleased that the original Jaw Droppers! book has now had a reprint and is now available again, and that's the book that this review is about.My mantra is always What is the scientific underpinning of these ideas? I wasn't quick enough to get a copy, but I was fortunate to get its sequel Jaw Droppers! Two which was published in 2017. Harry Lorayne's first Jaw Droppers! book came out in 2015, and it was a hot commodity with magicians. And in his two Jaw Droppers! books, he's sharing his secrets with others. That's exactly the kind of thing that Harry himself has often achieved in his card magic routines. Closely related words and phrases include shocker, thunderclap, marvel, wonder, and bolt from the blue. He's amazed audiences around the world with his remarkable feats of memory and with his card magic.Īccording to Merriam-Webster, the word jaw dropper means " something that makes a strong impression because it is so unexpected." Synonyms include bombshell, stunner, and surprise. But if you know anything about Harry Lorayne and his incredible career, you'll already know that the word "amazing" has often been used to describe him as an entertainer. To be performing and teaching jaw dropping magic at that stage of life is truly amazing. For most of us, it will already be an accomplishment to be alive at the age of 90. I've been associating the word "jaw dropper" with Harry Lorayne ever since I saw the incredible Jaw Droppers lecture that he delivered in 2016 in connection with his 90th birthday.
