An Good Book For Math Magic Lover !,
By Djawari Awi (Jakarta, Indonesia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mental Magic: Surefire Tricks to Amaze Your Friends (Paperback)
I recommend this book for math magic lover. All the math tricks have pre-determined outcomes that either absolutely certain or have a high probability of being correct. Because the tricks has pre-determined outcomes, we will not be able to do the trick twice to the same audience.

A book for children?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mental Magic: Surefire Tricks to Amaze Your Friends (Paperback)
Martin Gardner is an excellent writer and his other books have been a delight to read. Perhaps I would not have expected as much from this book if it had been labeled as being written for the 8 to 12 year old. Very young magicians are likely to enjoy this, but most adults interested in "mental magic" will probably be disappointed.

A Fun Book,
By Larry Betz (Lakewood, Colorado United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mental Magic: Surefire Tricks to Amaze Your Friends (Paperback)
A fun book for young Magicians, also has some ideas that can be food for thought for older Magicians to develop and put into their shows. A great value considering the high price of a lot of Magic books these days. --L Betz
