Stand-up Magic and Optical Illusions

By Nicholas Einhorn

This book introduces stand-up magic tricks that readers can perform in front of a large audience. Also known as "stage magic" or "parlor magic," these awe-inspiring tricks use large props that can be seen from a distance. Readers learn how to create all of the necessary props themselves, with everyday materials such as boxes, colored paper, and cloth. The book also explores optical illusions, large and small, including some that can be presented in a magic show.
