Magic Tricks

By Oliver Ho

Book Overview

New in Paper Every kid wants to be the best magician in school--and can be, with these 23 terrific, easy-to-learn tricks. Each one uses ordinary household stuff, like string and soda bottles, to create extraordinary effects, and they're all presented in easy-to-follow color illustrations and instructions. What feats can children achieve? They can make a saltshaker disappear, turn a pencil into rubber, or even trap a ghost in a bottle so it moves a coin up and down. And budding magicians will feel proud when their friends beg them to perform again and again. Best of all, no matter how many times the audience sees the show, they'll never catch on!

HIS FIRST BOOK OF MAGIC

EVERYTHING I WANTED IN FIRST MAGIC BOOK FOR MY GRANDSON. WE STUDIED FOR 2 OR 3 DAYS. WE LEARNED MOST OF TRICKS THEN ORDERED 3 MORE BOOKS. THESE BOOKS PLUS VARIOUS WEB SITES THAT SPECIALIZE IN TEACHING BEGINNING MAGICIANS HAVE CAPTURED HIS IMAGINATION. THIS IS A GOOD STARTER BOOK FOR A BEGINNER.

Fun and Easy book

My 8 year old niece borrowed this book from the library and loved it. She put on a magic show for my kids ages 6 and 3. They then wanted me to do some of the tricks for them as well. So I borrowed it. Then I decided to buy it so when my 6 year old son is ready to try the tricks on his own he can. It is a very easy to follow book and uses everyday items you have around your house. And the book is inexpensive.

Excellent intro to magic

This is a great book for young kids to learn their first magic tricks. It's fun and easy to read, and the illustrations are great!
