From School Library Journal:
Grade 3-6-- An attractive collection of over 50 tricks. Clear, easy directions make this an excellent choice for beginning magicians. The instructions are well marked, with each step corresponding to a numbered illustration. This makes each action simple to follow and understand. The cartoon pictures are fun and attractive, but more importantly they accurately show the procedures required. Chapters are divided by type of activity, including "playing cards," "magic numbers," and "paper puzzlers." The selections themselves are not elaborate, but most are suitably impressive and can be mastered fairly easily. Most materials required are readily available; some preparation of props is necessary. Closing chapters offer suggestions for costumes and party ideas. With the emphasis on the physical logistics of each trick, little attention is paid to sleight-of-hand techniques. Misdirection and patter are mentioned briefly in the introductory chapter, but rarely within the descriptions of the tricks. Despite these minor flaws, this book will be a popular addition to the magic shelves, with fun tricks that kids can learn and perform successfully on their own. --Steven Engelfried, Alameda County Library, CA
