Phil Hine's book is the most concise statement ... of the logic of modern magic. Magic, in the light of modern physics, quantum theory and probability theory is now approaching science. We hope that a result of this will be a synthesis so that science will become more magical and magic more scientific. - William S. Burroughs author of Naked Lunch & contributor to Rebels & Devils

Phil Hine has produced a tour de force. - Ian Read Editor, Chaos International

An excellent introduction to chaos magick, and magick in general. - Psyche, spiralnature.com

I love Phil Hine. Condensed Chaos articulates some basic skills of doing magick, and discusses the universality of the tech involved. It provides a much needed critique of the problematic role of tradition as a yardstick in assessing the effectiveness of magick, and takes a slice at the messy issues of cultural context surrounding a lot of contemporary magickal practice. With the focus on the tech instead of the trivia, grades and ego production, Chaos Magick can be an excellent training ground for genuine magickal proficiency. - Amy Hale, writer and anthropologist
