Fantastic introductory book on the art of magic. If you are someone who loves magic - this is for you. As a long time enthusiast, I have amassed an enormous library of books on magic - and this is definitely one of the best out there for aspirant conjurors. Not only is the magic powerful and strong - but is expertly taught! I particularly enjoyed how the chapters were broken down into 'real world' performing scenarios ... powerful effects that will have you amazing your friends and family in no time. Highly recommended.
When I was younger, I went to teach on a remote island in the South Pacific. For many of the children there, I looked different and even scary. I figured I needed a way to break the ice, and show them that I was a nice person and not to be afraid. Eventually, I hit on an idea which didn’t require speaking — magic tricks. I only knew one magic trick, which involved repeatedly fumbling with a coin until it “disappeared,” and then discovering it in the nearest child’s ear. I’d give them the coin to show it was a real ordinary coin, and they could get a piece of candy or something with it.I learned that a little sleight of hand does wonders to break the ice, even when I didn’t really know what to say. So remembering that, I was happy to see 101 Magic Tricks, which offers simple tricks that anyone could do in a variety of social situations. The chapters include magic in the classroom, office magic, restaurant magic, holiday magic, and so on. The book itself is well bound, with a clever, dynamic layout and design, lots of step-by-step photography on each page. The text is clear, and the tricks are easy to learn and perform — and are perfect for guests, parties, and children, too. It’s a great way to “magically” break the ice and put others (and yourself) at ease and have a bit of fun at the same time.
