Moore said that this series is where he got to try out his ideas. It was free, he paid nothing for the room and the audience paid nothing to attend. Even if only one person showed up, he did the performance.",

Cherotic Magic is a major attempt to introduce a powerful system of magic into our modern western everyday life, thereby explosively expanding such concepts as sex and human relationships. The clear, down-to-earth text is amplified by the non-linear trance illustrations by LaBash. In 1994, Inter-Relations published Cherotic Magic Revised as a spiral bound Xerox publication. In 2015, Inter-Relations republished Cherotic Magic Revised in paperback format.",
