"Think Nguyen is a card magician of RARE TALENT - technically accomplished,
fantastically creative, but also possessed of a deep understanding of the
principles of magic performance. I had the privilege of spending a day with him
and almost everything he showed me fooled me: that's six or seven pieces across
the day, I had no clue - and the ultimate kicker was that most of it was bafflingly
simple when he finally explained it. I'm a huge fan of Think and his exciting,
innovative material and I use it regularly when I want to fry magicians. I think
anyone who likes card magic needs to get to know him and his incredible magic." - Phill Smith
