Bad magic - Rated
This is not as good as other reviewers seem to think but I've given it 2 marks on the basis it may in fact be a children's book, which might explain the juvenile attempts at humour throughout. I say thoughout, but I didn't get any where near finishing - it really is that good.
Worth the money - Rated
It is an enjoyable book. I will not regret buying it if you enjoy learning magic routines. A couple of notes:
1. the book is not specifically aimed at routines for pros, it is rather for people that want to "freak out" their friends. Tricks are shown to be made not as part of a show (although some may be used) but rather in day to day situations.
2. The level of tricks is uneven, most are really enjoyable, a couple are tricks that I knew whan I was 12...
All in all it is worth the money.
A good introduction - Rated
I bought this book more out of curiosity than anything else. I have always enjoyed the more visual/gross side of magic and this book does not disappoint. There is a good mix of tricks laid out very clearly in text and visually as well. The kids love the nose breaking trick and have already used it on a number of their friends. I would really reccommend this book to anyone who is looking for a good few tricks to use down the pub, at work or just to freak out friends or relatives. The fork in the eyeball trick is an absolute must for any halloween party!!.
Great Magic Book! - Rated
As an amateur magician for many years I'm always intrested in new books on magic for the public. This one is excellent. Pete has brought the beginners magic book up to date with modern tricks that appeal to todays audiences. Its not all card tricks, i rounded up stuff from around the house and at the pub and impressed my pals.
My teenage kids love this book too and have already fooled their mother with a couple of the tricks.
I would recommend this book to anyone interested in magic or people who like shocking their mates.
Some great routines - Rated
At first glance this book seemed like a waste of money - routines like Kung-Fu Nana, On Me Head and Soft Glass are fairly well known (if by different names). A more thorough reading will yield some great routines. Many of the tricks with cigarettes have great commercial potential. If you perform a lot of magic in pubs, I recommend getting this book.
