i sawed my wife in half and got probation. basically it is a true and wonderfully gatherings of both the misdirected slite of hand with the added direction of heavy of hand. it will both twist your bowels yet gently snacht your very loins leaving you wreaching na wreffing for all that ther could evever... its fun i recommend it.
I found this book in a used book store in New York City for under $3 (including tax). Being an amateur magician is one of my hobbies. This book definitely has numerous great magic tricks for both beginners and experienced amateurs. The only problem is that it includes long introductions and long explanations. Also it has a mixture of both weak tricks as well as great tricks using items that are easily obtainable. To get the most out of this book you've got to browse over and skip tricks or parts that are not appealing to you. When you get to the good tricks read them carefully and practice often. Then you will see that this is a very good magic book. Another plus is that the most tricks do not require sleight of hand (which can take hours or days to learn). Some of the better tricks do require some preparation and practice. If the author would have selected the best tricks only and shortened the excessive explanations and advise, I would've given this book a 5 star! It does deserve 4 stars, however, because among the bad tricks are some very clever and original classics that most people can learn with some patience and effort. Since the aim of this book is to learn some good magic tricks I strongly recommend it.
I got this book for free as a gift; I'm glad I didn't have to pay anything for it. Lots of pages of text, few illustrations. The book seems to be something that would be better marketed as an optical illusion or math tricks book. I looked through the entire thing and didn't see anything that I was particularly interested in. The last section started to talk about classic magic but wasn't thorough enough to really get a feel for the tricks and didn't explain at all as to how they were done. Simply not useful. I'd recommend that a person looking for a solid beginning magic book buy Magic: The Complete Course (Book & DVD) by Joshua Jay instead.
I don't think these tricks would impress even at a birthday party for 6 year olds.Maybe 40 years ago someone would have found this book helpful.But not in this day and age.
I am new to magic, and this book made me look like a pro in no time!
