The Magician's Own Book

A deck of cards, a few everyday objects, and a little practice are all you need to start a show.

The Magician’s Own Book opens the Victorian conjurer’s bag of tricks. Inside you’ll find sleight of hand, card tricks, puzzles, and curious experiments designed to surprise and amuse. Try a trick for friends, puzzle out an illusion, or simply enjoy discovering how an old-fashioned marvel was done.

For aspiring magicians, puzzle lovers, and collectors of vintage curiosities, this lively volume brings home the pleasure of making an audience ask, “How did you do that?”
