From the Back Cover

There’s nothing like performing magic—and there’s nothing like plodding through a text-heavy book on the subject whose illustrations don’t quite “do the trick.”  Enter Knack Magic Tricks. With instructions distilled to the most essential information you need, combined with 450 full-color photographs that lead you step by step through each action (many from the magician’s point of view), this book makes learning magic easier than you ever thought possible. Written by a noted authority, and using household and inexpensive props, it also offers plenty of advice on how to entertain an audience while performing mind-blowing deceptions, illusions, and sleight of hand.
