Card Tricks

By Oliver Ho

Book Overview

New in Paper Even young kids can dazzle their friends with amazing card tricks! It's easy for them to take center-stage now, because these incredibly simple and colorful instructions are just right for 6-to-8 year olds. Youngsters will start by mastering a few simple lessons on holding, spreading, cutting and shuffling the deck, and they'll also see how to hide cards surreptitiously and make them reappear magically. It's all a matter of practicing each move until they can do it automatically, and then kicking it up a notch with some smooth show-biz moves--like making a card float out of a deck, rise to the top, or turn upside down without even touching it.

Customer Reviews

good book to start learning the trades...

Well written, helpful graphics, I found this book very good in terms of helping a family member learn magic.

Great intro for junior card sharks!

This "Young Magicians" series is fantastic! They make wonderful gifts for children. This book teaches kids the fundamentals of card tricks, from how to hold and shuffle a deck, to performing basic "pick a card" tricks and more. Great for kids, and interesting for parents, too!
