Do you believe that anybody once fooled by a Magic trick should be allowed to wtite a book once he believes he worked out the secret ? Don't encourage this type a behaviour ! Don't waste your money !!! It is badly written. The drawings are of very bad quality. And what about this chapter on David Copperfield ? What is the point !!!

Mr. Becker offer us a collection of inept so called secrets of popular illusions. With the exception of one or two sections, the drawings are of poor quality and the secrets are unworkable. The chapter on David Copperfield is stupid. Who is Mr. Becker trying to fool. Generally badly written. Fail to explain the true beauty of the art of magic. Not recommended. Suggest instead any book by Mark Wilson or in the Dover collection.

You won't find all the secrets of magic in this book, it's more of a David Copperfield advertisement, with a hole chapter of his credits, along with some generic secrets that you can find in library books.

Who on earth is Mr. Becker?? He pretends to be a magician. To me he looks more like somebody who had access to some of these secrets but never bother verify them. The secret of the water levitation is obviously stupid. probably Mr. Becker did not have enough money to buy the plans from a real magician, so he invented. A book for voyeurs with nothing better to do in their lives. Could be done so much better. And we are killing forests to print that ?????

This is the book which launched the career of Herbert Becker but it is not as good as the newer ones.

This book started the whole revealing secrets legacy and it continues to be the most successful book in the history of magic.

I am still very proud of how successful it has been.

101 Greatest Magic Secrets is also a great book to have.

this is definity one of the best books in revealing magic's biggest secrets.included in the book is copperfield,houdini,sigfried and roy,kreskin,kardeen,and many others.a very good book for the price!!!

This is the book for every one to have. After reading this book I feel like I have been taken inside the world of magic and see things from a different point of view. This is the book for everyone to own if your as curious as I am.
