  • Best Magic book for beginners--ever

    I am a professional magician, and am very critical of "magic" books. This is exceptionally well written, illustrated, and I have not only recommended it over and over, but have actually bought it for kids who wanted to learn the magical arts.

  • Learn amazing magic!

    This is, no doubt, one of the very best books for learning basic sleight of hand (from a pre-DVD era of course). It belongs in every magician's personal library.
