From School Library Journal
Grade 3-6. With large, full-color photographs and an appealing format, this book focuses on performing magic tricks and includes instructions for making the necessary props (a wand, a magic box, a hat) from household objects. With a light and conversational tone, Nightingale helps children feel comfortable about magic by emphasizing that they can do it "with only a little practice." Double-page spreads focus on specific tricks, with step-by-step instructions and helpful photographs. Tips for performing before an audience are included and relevant terms such as "sleight of hand," "sleeving," etc., are clearly defined. A good choice for novice magicians.?Shauna Siebers, Potomac Library, Woodbridge, VA
