A Picky Reader from New York

Beyond being an extremely attractive book, I found it enormously interesting,informative, and plain old fun. It covers the history of Magic, tells about all the Great Masters of Magic and how they actually did a number of their most famous tricks, illusions, and such. The book also has a section for lay people such as myself which tells and shows how we can actually perform a great number of magic tricks and illusions (and it really works). If you enjoy magic get this book.
