2.0 out of 5 stars
Sorry,
By Back Romain (Rumelange Luxembourg) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Art of Magic (Dover Magic Books) (Paperback)
In today's time, words are not enough to describe a sleight. Reading this book is not very easy. I would appreciate more pictures, more details . Many pictures in the book are completly useless and should be replaced by detailed photos. Sorry, I don't like it.

Good Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Art of Magic (Dover Magic Books) (Paperback)
I'm not sure why a beginner in magic would attempt to critize a classic of magic so thoroughly if he is just a beginner (above reviews)...while the book does not have many illustrations, its text does give enough detail to perform the sleights quite accurately. I also would like to say that if you are a beginner in magic, this books is not for you. You should already know what a top change is, bottom change, double deal, second deal, bottom deal, palm, rear palm, side slip, and so on are. If you do not know these, don't get this book.... Also, for the serious card conjurer, GET EXPERT CARD TECHNIQUE BY JEAN HUGARD AND FREDERICK BRAUE...it is THE best book on card magic written and it so thoroughly describes technique that I think a fly could do the tricks. Again, this book is a classic...I suggest you get it if you're an experienced amateur.
