Young Magician: Card Tricks

By Oliver Ho

Book Overview

Kids: dazzle your friends with your magical card tricks! It's easy--just practice each step of a trick until you can do it automatically, then give equal time to the show-biz moves that will delight and amaze your friends. Master all 20 card tricks; it doesn't take long, because they're broken into simple steps that show ways to hold, shuffle, cut, and spread the deck as well as how to hide and show each card. Illustrations and instructions help you cause a card to float out of a deck, rise to the top, or turn upside down without you touching it. You can even find the cards volunteers select by detecting their fingerprints, staring into their eyes, reading their minds, or predicting their choices in advance.

Customer Reviews

good book to start learning the trades...

Well written, helpful graphics, I found this book very good in terms of helping a family member learn magic.

Great intro for junior card sharks!

This "Young Magicians" series is fantastic! They make wonderful gifts for children. This book teaches kids the fundamentals of card tricks, from how to hold and shuffle a deck, to performing basic "pick a card" tricks and more. Great for kids, and interesting for parents, too!
