Kids are fascinated by magic, as evidenced by the continuing
popularity of Harry Potter. But magic is more than magic wands and
incantations. It involves illusion, distraction, and showmanship. The Children’s Book of Magic not only explains these skills, but reveals the secrets behind some common tricks. It then offers a wealth of magical effects for
kids to master, like vanishing, transformation, levitation, and prediction.
They’ll also get a peek into the history of magic and the lives of five famous
magicians, of which Houdini is the most recognizable.
The history and bios are pretty cursory, but the instructions for each trick are very clearly presented, with large, step-by-step pictures and easily-obtained materials.
