4.0 out of 5 stars The Klutz Book of Magnetic Magic/Book and Magnets, March 30, 2000

I am an elementary teacher and bought this book to use with my fourth graders. As a source of activities during our explorations of magnets it was invaluable. In addition to the "magic tricks", we had a GREAT time using the magnets to learn about their properties! Many of my students ordered the book to learn more magic tricks on their own. It's a fun, educational book!

3.0 out of 5 stars Great book as long as magnets do not break, May 22, 1999

The book was great and inspired my kids to learn about magnets. The best part is that the book introduced magic that they could do easily. The book was easy to understand with graphics that attracted kids. The only problem is that the magnets broke easily if dropped. Three of the five doughnut magnets broke within the first day of use.

I purchased this book, actually two of them, for our homeschool to go along with magnets and electricity. After we explored what magnets were and did the tricks in the book, my sons spend most of that day playing with the magnets. They would say "Hey Mom, come see what it can do now!"
