About this title

Synopsis

Presents step-by-step instructions for a variety of magic tricks, explaining how the tricks work by affecting people's perceptions.

From Booklist

Gr. 5^-7. Friedhoffer, the author of Magic Tricks, Science Facts (1990), not only shows and tells how to perform magic tricks but he also discusses how magicians are able to alter an audience's perceptions of what is taking place. Many clear line drawings and a few not-so-clear photographs illustrate the text. Students of magic may choose this book because of the author's thorough, practical approach to learning new tricks, but they'll also come away with a better overall understanding of the human senses and the physical and mental foibles that make illusions convincing. Appended resource lists include books, equipment suppliers, magazines, and organizations for magicians. An unusual take on a popular topic. Carolyn Phelan
