Summary

Hundreds of fabulous, leave-'em-flabbergasted tricks include all the secrets that a magician can pull out of a hat. Coins, cards, mind reading, and more: they're here, all within your grasp, and copiously illustrated, with patter included. Triple the fun with a three-dice stunt where you boggle the crowd by guessing the number a volunteer rolls.while you're turned away. Thimbles aren't just for sewing: when you make them disappear with some crafty hand moves, no one will figure out how. The "odds" are definitely in your favor with a card trick that depends upon arranging the deck in odds and evens. Put together a mini-routine that relies only on a simple "thumb stretch"--no other paraphernalia but your hand is required! Plus lots of other dazzlers.
