Tricks with Your Head: Hilarious Magic Tricks and Stunts to Disgust and Delight

by Mac King, Mark Levy

“Mac King is a god.” —Penn and Teller

Tricks with Your Head is the world’s greatest (and only) collection of hilarious, mystifying, and sometimes repulsive magic tricks that you can perform with your very own head.

If you’ve only thought of your head as a receptacle for so-called higher learning, or as a structure for keeping your haircut from falling into your body cavity, rejoice! Now you can use that ten-pound meatball between your shoulders as a source of ribald entertainment. Best of all, when you learn to perform a head trick, you can never be caught without your prop.

Mac King and Mark Levy have perfected the ultimate mix of head games (literally) in this clever illustrated volume that teaches you how
* Make your head disappear
* Penetrate your skull with a drinking straw
* Make a french fry vanish up your nose
* Read someone’s mind
* Jab a fork in your eye

easy read

This book has a bunch of not-super-interesting sleight-of-hand tricks that you can play on coworkers, friends and loved ones, all of whom will feign interest without actually being that impressed. The writing is inoffensive, but the guy writing this isn't that funny or edgy even though I think he's going for funny/edgy in his writing.

What does 'edgy' mean? Is that even a real word?

THe only memorable trick in this book is the one where you pretend you poked your eyeball with a fork and fluid is gushing out. It is accomplished with a coffee creamer packet and a bit of legerdemain. I SHALL SAY NO MORE

Tricks with your head ia a great book full of useful magic. Lets face it people. magic is not cool. That being said, this book has the quick and funny kind. The kind of magic that you can both disgust your friends and make kids laugh. read a magic trick in the book, practice it for 5 minutes and you are set.

Snort a french fry up your nose. Shove a straw through your throat. Put a fork in your eye! These are great!

Mac, you are the man!

Not exactly magic, not exactly tricks, more pranks. I was given this book as a present together with Body Magic by John Fisher, which is a real magic book.
Worth reading, certainly worth the few pence you can buy it for. But not one that will give you anything worth doing.

It's a fun little book but the tricks aren't explained well.
