Summary

Is it magic...or are spirits at work? Your audience won't know for sure when you perform these spooky tricks! They'll wonder warily just how you managed to read their minds, knot that haunted handkerchief, pull a vampire from the empty box, and produce a ghostly message on a slate. Have no fear--with these sequence drawings and zany cartoons, it's easy to master the sleight of hand and patter you need to become a wizard!
