Not really a lot to read here, more of a how-to book for beginner magicians, which I didn't mind because I've always been interested in magic and I love learning how tricks are done.

The main things you need are, a lot of balls (not literally, ladies) and a lot of distance. I can imagine trying to pull these tricks on people I know and they'd just step forward and look where they're not supposed to, or grab something that they shouldn't. Most of these tricks are really simple, so simple that when they're explained you wonder how anyone actually falls for them, but they do. The other thing you need is the correct perspective. So many of these tricks fall apart if your mark isn't looking where you want them to look - hence the balls and distance.

I think this book's aimed at kids - there's one trick with scissors where it asks you to ask an adult before using them! - but I didn't care. I'd still like to learn a few of these and I might try. It's not going to the charity shop, it's going on my shelf to wait for a rainy day when I have nothing to do.

A magic guide with instructions to perform various marvellous tricks. It falls down - as so many magic books do - by not properly explaining the effect of the illusion on the audience, and for underwritten instructions which are often confusing and contradictory.

Its a very hands on book that is ideal for people that are into magic. It has fun tricks that you learn how to shuffle and cut cards, Dynamo also has a secret website which you log on with the password in the book he has a tutorials welcoming you to his world. I have commenced learning magic and without this book I would not know where to start with learning magic. It is not just for budding magicians it is for all the family to have fun. It is a great laugh when you read up on the tricks and getting into the book, well worth buying . #BeTheMagic.
