very nice job on what sounds like an important and valuable book Jim, thanks! Self-analysis and the ability to examine our own processes are what distinguish us from the beasts and fluttery things

I'm sure P&T would prefer that a human illustrate their cover, rather than an animal.

Maybe "Bullshit In a Nutshell", I'll leave it up to you to figure out what animal should illustrate the cover.

Magic Hacks? Or Illusion Annoyances?

Since half of their act is showing you how the illusion works, and then doing stuff you can't figure out how they did it, I'm surprised Penn and Teller aren't doing a book for O'Reilly.

LOVE the inclusion of Penn and Teller in the ASIN list for Mind Hacks.
