The Amazing Book of Magic and Card Tricks

This is an amazing book, I have learned alot from it. Its full-color pictures make the book easy to follow. It gives step-by-step instructions which are also easy to follow. If you plan on becoming a magician or are getting a book for a young magician this would be it. I would also suggest 101 Amazing Card Tricks.

This is a very good book.

This is an excellent magic book. The instructions are good, and the photos help a lot. I can gladly recommend this book. But, one of the most helpful things about it, is that it gives the aspiring magician tips on how to keep the audience's intrest. With great tricks for friends and living rooms, this can be very useful advice. In conculsion, this is a very good use of your money.

An excellent book for beginners

Although somewhat expensive for the number of effects it contains, the book is worthwhile since the effects chosen are excellent, and there is a good variety of effects. There is also a value to having numerous color photographs. Overall, I am happy that I purchased this book and can recommend it.

The best

This is a wonderful book for beginning and intermediate magicians. Experts can learn something, too. The photographs and directions are exceptionally clear and visual.The selection of effects taught is first rate, and modern, unlike many other books that teach the corniest old stuff. There are card tricks, coin tricks, rope tricks, and all the rest. A good variety that should satisfy any taste. Some tricks are suitable for close-up, some for the living room (old timers say "parlour") and some that could work on a stage.Best of all, there is first rate advice about how to be a good magician: how to please the audience (not yourself, the audience), how to tell a story, how to make a routine, and how to grow your magic skills. In my opinion, if you only buy one book, this is it.
