Title: A great first magic book!
Review: I have several of the "Idiot's Guide to . . ." books and was pleasantly surprised to see one devoted to magic. The established format of these guides lends itself well to teaching not only magic tricks, but how to perform them. Nothing is worse than a boring lout who thinks he (or she) is a magician because he knows the "21 card trick." The first two parts of this guide are used to teach the art of presentation, how to handle an audience, and what to do when something goes wrong (an important subject most books never touch). The tricks cover a wide range from bar bets to skilled manipulations, and it even comes with a set of trick cards that are worth the price of the book alone. My only complaint is that all the tricks were closeup ones. After all the advice on how to perform, it would have been nice to include a few small stage to large stage effects. Other than that small observation, this is the book to get if you want to develop your interest in magic.
