Editorial Reviews

Product Description

The author draws upon a lifetime in professional magic to focus on tricks that can be learned within hours and performed informally with a small group of friends. There are card tricks of both the set-up and impromptu kind, tricks with string, handkerchiefs, tumblers, and other simple apparatus, plus examples of mental magic where the mind is deceived rather than the eye.

3.0 out of 5 stars classic magic book., January 27, 2000
By A Customer
This book contains many of the classic tricks we see in other books involving magic, thus not making it very different. On the other hand, the last chapter contains a section on stage illusions, which contains the methods behind How Houdini walked through a brick wall, how to make a piano disappear, and how to transport a person shot out of a cannon into a sealed container. An average book.
