Excellent guide to classic tricks,

This review is from: Street Magic: Great Tricks and Close-up Secrets Revealed (Hardcover)
I predict that this book will become a classic for both beginning and intermediate magicians. Very little of the material is new and it won't make you the next David Blaine, but it does provide excellent handlings of classic tricks which require little or no set-up. The explanations and photos are clear and helpful.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent magic book,
By Greg (Maryland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Street Magic: Great Tricks and Close-Up Secrets Revealed (Paperback)
This is easily one of the better books for beginners. Quite a few pictures and clear instructions make this a real winner. The author does a superb job of explaining how to present each illusion which in reality is far more important than the mechanics behind the trick. This is a nice change from many of the other magic books targeted at the novice. By the way, the tricks cover a wide range (e.g. cards, coins, mentalism) and are all of high quality.
