Magic Tricks

This is an excellent book! not only are there really, really good effects, the book is written very well. it is clear and easy to follow. he also gives some really good tips on how to work with people. in particular, the beginning of the book talks about what he calls "introducing wonder while wearing body armor". it is a good bit about how to warm people up to present magic to them. While I generally prefer to watch a DVD instead of reading a book (to see the subtleties of how to perform), what he presents in the book lends itself well to book form, since it is not so much about the sleights and moves as it is about showing the construction of routines and suggested patter. i think this is a good book for someone who already knows some basic moves, like controlling a card to the top, etc. very good book, highly recommended.
