Magic Tricks

I really can't recommend this series enough. This is a magic book that's actually fun to read, and has some of the best and most groundbreaking material of our time. Since i've worked my way through all 3 volumes, suddenly I notice how far spread the influence from Paul Harris reaches. A LOT of magicians do A LOT of his effects. Sadly, it seems a lot of people dont even know that he created what theyre performing. But anyway, get this book. It has so much useable material that you'll be busy for a long time. Everything is clearly explained, verbally and visually. Plus, Paul Harris writes in a way that keeps you entertained as you work through. The effects are top notch, the essays invaluable, and theres great stuff mixed in, like "conversations from the edge" where Paul tells Eric Mead about the ideas he had that were too crazy to make work.

I would go into a list of the best effects, but honestly, as I cracked my book open for reference while writing this review, there's way too many to list. This book is the real deal. If you do magic with cards, coins, bills, paper bags, rocks, pens, paper, insects or apples, GET THIS BOOK. The amount of stuff you'll use pays for the price tag 10x over. Then after this book, get vol. 2 and 3. You'll be very happy with yourself and your amazing decision making abilities afterward.
