5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide to classic tricks, October 3, 2005
By Eric G. Mart (Manchester, NH United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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 , August 22, 2007
By Greg (Maryland) - See all my reviews
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very small type
The content is quite good, but the typeface is very small, about 6 point. If you have any eyesight problems at all, you will have problems reading this book.
