Book Description
Orlando O'Malley has had to overcome a lot to play basketball. He's the worst shooter on the Evergreen Eagles middle school team. He can barely dribble around a cone in practice. And he's certainly the shortest. But Orlando has two special talents: a winning personality and the ability to call play-by-play almost everything that is happening around him. Orlando really wants to be a star player, but despite his best efforts he can't quite seem to make the right play at the right time. His biggest contributions to the team are his ability to get them energized and to call the shots. But accepting these as his special talents means he has to give up his dream of playing basketball.

Book Description
From the INTRODUCTION. In writing this book, it is not my intention to treat conjuring in all its technical details; hut merely record some of the results of my life study of the fascinating ort of Magic; and which 1 hope, will prove, if not instructive, at least interesting to the many who either dabble in Magic for a likelihood or pastime. When I wrote "Tricky-Tricks" I confidently intended it should be my last book. But "Circumstances Alter Cases." The great success of my two books: "The Magicians New Field" and "Tricky-Tricks" was a very gratifying surprise to me, as the sales of these books ran far beyond my fondest expectations. Of course, it is encouraging to know that your work is appreciated, but my time was pre-occupied with my "finessing Institute." Besides my aspirations were soaring within the lofty realm of a New-More Perfect and more wonderful type of Magic than the world has ever known before!...

Book Description
Basketball’s most unlikely—and most sought-after—training guru offers an inside look at his career, his methods, and the all-star players whose games he’s helped transform. Where do the best basketball players in the world turn when they want to improve their game? Whom does a future NBA Hall of Famer thank at his press conference when he’s named Rookie of the Year? Who is it that Sports Illustrated, The Wall Street Journal, and Men’s Journal all call the "Hoops Whisperer" because of his ability to engage, inspire, and challenge the players he trains? The answer to all of these questions is Idan Ravin. Ravin never played or coached in college or the pros, yet a virtual NBA All-Star team relies on him to better their game and reach their full potential. A soft-spoken former lawyer, Ravin has become professional basketball’s hottest trainer. In The Hoops Whisperer, Ravin shares the fascinating story of how he transformed a passion for the game into working with iconic basketball stars such as Chris Paul, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony, Stephen Curry, Blake Griffin, James Harden, Dwight Howard, and many more. He offers a rare unguarded glimpse inside the lives of these great athletes, drawn from his intimate connection with them that is the basis of his success. Showcasing his unorthodox drills and improvisational techniques in action, Ravin reveals how faith, effort, dedication, and passion can make a player into a superstar—and anyone into a success. Combined with his own inspiring journey, Ravin’s insights make The Hoops Whisperer a must-read for anyone who loves the game.
