Product Description
Everyone knows that most magic tricks are simply sleight-of-hand. Mental magic, on the other hand, can give the illusion of real paranormal powers. This dazzling collection offers a rich selection of mind-reading, spirit-raising, future-telling illusions, complete with tips on how to present them most effectively. Read palms with amazing accuracy, predict the future with tarot cards, conjure up table-tipping spirits, find psychic connections between people and their possessions, receive uncanny messages from the beyond, and even seem to know what people are thinking. Of course, it's all in fun and all the explanations include the magician's "patter" that goes with each trick--assuring that no matter how spooky the effect, the audience isn't shocked or terrified, but delightfully amazed.

 Cool book January 12, 2009
Louis E. Comeaujr (Maryland, USA)

Mostly cool tricks and mostly easy to understand and learn.
I only used a couple so far, but the ones I learned were relatively simple and they worked well. My friends and family were amazed.
One caution...fight the temptation to repeat them at what will surely be popular demand by your audience! As they lose their entertainment value with each repeat in front of the same people. The smarter (or more attentive) folks will start to figure them out!(This is actually the case with any magic and does not take anything away from the tricks themselves!)
Overall, I recommend the book. I had a lot of fun with it.
That's magic! October 24, 2009

If you want to dazzle your friends down the pub with amazing magic (that they really will think is magic) then this is the book for you!
It gives you step by step instructions of how to do each trick and it reveals some of the deepest secrets of the magic circle and their tricks!
Easy to do tricks. You rarely need any more props than what you can find on your coffee table and everyone can do them!

This book was very nice when i purchased it. The black is a velvet mock and is very nice to hold while you read and study it. Most of these tricks are good when in a magic environment, but if you are out with your friends on the street this may not come in much handy. If you are the kind of person that everybody believes and trusts then this book will do wonders. But if you are the type of person who everybody mocks for doing magic and makes fun of, snickers as your doing a mind trick, then do not get this book.
 Some good stuff but a little corny February 16, 2008

I do a couple of tricks from the book. It teaches you a little about some of the fundamental aspects of magic, but the setting and situational instruction is kind of corny. I liked the street magic books a lot better.
