From the dust jacket: "Down through the ages, countless ingenious performers have astonished their friends or audiences with 'magic' - not the black arts, but simple or sometimes complicated tricks that can be learned and passed on. This book will tell you how to do some of these and do them well. "

This is a magic book for beginners. It is long on description but short on explanation. That's okay. As John Salisse, Honorary Vice-president of The Magic Circle says in the Foreword, "It is not how a trick is carried out which is important, but how it is presented."

This is an over sized book for display on the coffee table, not for shelving out-of-sight. Your guests, young and old, will be entertained simply by leafing through the pages of this lavishly illustrated volume. Within the pages of this book you will discover magic for the junior magician as well as for the master magician.
