Street Magic

by Paul Zenon

Street Magic is a great how-to magic book that teaches the real secrets of close-up, under-your-nose, in-your-face magic as seen on TV. Magic is one of the longest surviving forms of entertainment and is as popular today as ever, having undergone a huge renaissance recently. This book contains the very best tricks and illusions as popularized by today's greatest magicians. It is an accessible book, free of buzzwords and fully photo-illustrated, featuring tricks using everyday objects, designed for those who want the lowdown as quickly and easily as possible, but without skimping on all-important detail. The chapters and tricks are arranged so that the reader can comfortably progress from one to the other in skill and performance level.

Great book and pretty good effects in the book also.

I found it boring and difficult to read through 🤷🏻‍♀️

Went through a phase recently of wanting to learn magic and this was the first book I ordered. I must admit I've never actually heard of Paul Zenon but he seems to have some sort of pedigree in magic so that's good enough for me.

Compared to some books, which seem to include photos from weird angles, this is fairly easy to follow - largely due to the drawings it uses. It is also written with a nice dose of humour which, for me at least, makes it a more enjoyable read.

Magic is a great thing to learn to jazz up parties or just break the ice somewhere so if you're wanting to get into it get a copy of this!

I can't believe I'm the first person to review this book. The rest of you must be wasting your lives.

It's a typical magic book, the first couple of tricks are doable by your average lazy bloke, the rest have to be practiced or require some actual skill, so I didn't get very far.
