This was one of my first books on magic and it does not disappoint! With the price and the amount of
information and tricks included, this is a great addition for any magic bookshelf. The methods are
clearly outlined in black and white pictures. What it may lack in color, this book offers a vast
array of illusions and tricks. Many of the tricks given can be adapted or changed around using
different items and presentations to great applause. If you are looking to purchase a quality first
time magic book for someone that covers a range of type magic (coin, stage illusion, mental, card,
etc.) this will give a nice glimpse into most all of them. I highly recommend this text. Many dvds
out there today are based off of many of these same tricks...but include only a handful of tricks;
this text has tons of tricks and will have you going back to it years later! A+ You won't be
disappointed with Mark Wilson's Course in Magic!
DVDs and CDs are nice to see illusions
performed and for more indepth examination of tricks...but seldom include the quantity and quality
of illusions that can be found here. Enjoy!
