Customer Reviews
Good reference book for sleights
A basic visual reference guide to sleight of hand with cards, coins, balls, etc. A fast and visual oriented course in legerdemain. An addition to a magician's library. Though you will need some other magic texts if you wish to become an allround wizard.
It's great!
This is one of the best sleight of hand books ever written! The pictures are very helpful and one accompanies every single trick. Inside you'll find card sleights, flourishes, coin tricks (including simple routines), and other various sleight of hand tricks. One of my personal favorites is the thimble magic and changing spots trick. The rating system is especially helpful for beginning magicians as they attempt things like the French drop and simple coin vanishes.
I always recommend this book to anyone interested in magic, even children can follow along! I think every amateur magician or magic enthusiast should own a copy.
Beautiful, Clear Illustrations
This is a good instructional book with several close-up manipulation mangic tricks. I like the illustrations
