Synopsis
In the best introduction ever to the world of trickery, legerdemain, and prestidigitation, an eminent member of the esteemed Magic Circle offers endless hours of entertainment performing amazing feats of conjuring. Instructions for 40 capers with more than 100 permutations appear in 260 color photographs. The "three Ms" of magic--misdirection, motivation, and moment--are explained, along with insider terminology. Then put together a bag of tricks made up of only a few household props. Now you're ready to entertain! "Force" the spectator to choose a particular card, make coins vanish into thin air, hang a bangle on an already-knotted rope, and do divine divination. It's truly fantastic!

From Booklist
Gr. 5-8. Clear, well-sequenced color photographs and a concise, understandable text are the hallmarks of this book of close-up magic tricks. The tricks require only a few simple props (a deck of cards, rope, coins, a cup--no rabbits or top hats are required), so the budding magician can get started right away. Most of the tricks are covered in a single page or on two pages, with easy-to-follow directions for each trick. The book begins with a sophisticated introduction describing the history of magic through the centuries. A list of a few magic shops and magic clubs is appended; but since this is a British import, most of these are in England. Also appended are a glossary of magic terms and a list of further readings that is mostly confined to one publisher. A good source for any magic collection that needs a boost. Todd Morning
