This review is from: Conjuring Tricks: Revealing the Mysteries of the Magic Arts (The Pocket Entertainers) (Hardcover)

This is one of those books that magic buffs can't resist buying just for the pleasure of reading (as opposed to perfming) what the pages contain. It's an old world look at the world of magic, not a serious teach-in, but the pictures are a pleasure, the text reminscent of the sort of magical instruction we used to read in those wonderful magic books of the 1930's, and just might tantalize a beginner into getting into magic. You won't be much wiser after reading this little charmer, and you won't be a performer as a result, but many of us who have loved magic for decades can put it all down to the original spell that was cast by a book that provided a little doorway of wonder. This is such a book.
