Young Magician: Magic Tricks

by Oliver Ho

Book Overview

So, you want to be the best magician in school? Your best audience for your very first magic show is a full-length mirror That's where you'll get so good that your friends, even your teacher, won't figure out your secrets. Every trick uses ordinary household stuff, such as string, a saltshaker, pencils, soda bottles, and balloons you can turn into magical objects. Tie a knot in a string without touching it, then cut it in two, and put it back together again. Make a saltshaker disappear. Turn a pencil into rubber. Bend a spoon with two fingers and straighten it again. Watch everybody's eyes when you trap a ghost in a bottle so it moves a coin up and down. Stick a pin into a balloon without popping it. All 23 tricks will make your friends beg you to do them again and again, but they'll never catch on.

HIS FIRST BOOK OF MAGIC

EVERYTHING I WANTED IN FIRST MAGIC BOOK FOR MY GRANDSON. WE STUDIED FOR 2 OR 3 DAYS. WE LEARNED MOST OF TRICKS THEN ORDERED 3 MORE BOOKS. THESE BOOKS PLUS VARIOUS WEB SITES THAT SPECIALIZE IN TEACHING BEGINNING MAGICIANS HAVE CAPTURED HIS IMAGINATION. THIS IS A GOOD STARTER BOOK FOR A BEGINNER.

Fun and Easy book

My 8 year old niece borrowed this book from the library and loved it. She put on a magic show for my kids ages 6 and 3. They then wanted me to do some of the tricks for them as well. So I borrowed it. Then I decided to buy it so when my 6 year old son is ready to try the tricks on his own he can. It is a very easy to follow book and uses everyday items you have around your house. And the book is inexpensive.

Excellent intro to magic

This is a great book for young kids to learn their first magic tricks. It's fun and easy to read, and the illustrations are great!
