by H.P. Newquist
Newquist traces the history of magic through medieval times
to the present day, revealing the secrets behind many famous illusions. He shows how the advent of science and television helped magicians in fooling
and dazzling their audiences. He also provides more complete magician
biographies, and includes instructions for eight magic tricks for readers to
try. Two aren’t feasible (the levitation and zigzag tricks) and two ought to
have come with pictures (the disappearing knot and toothpick tricks), but kids
should get the general idea.
Best for ages 10 and up.
