 How
to do magic Tricks by Nicholas Einhorn - £5.99 Einhorn teaches 120 tricks in 256 pages. Beginning with an interesting, though brief, history of magic, the remainder of his book is devoted almost entirely to impromptu and close-up magic with cards, matches, strings, ropes, silks, thimbles, paper, money, and items from the dinner table. All but a dozen or so of the tricks can be done without gimmicks or fakes using items that can be carried in your pocket or that you have at hand. When gimmicks or fakes are required, Einhorn teaches his readers how to make them. No expensive purchases are necessary. Included in the book is the trick that fooled Houdini when he saw it performed way back in the 1920s. A watch is borrowed from a spectator and placed under the center of a handkerchief. Several people are asked to reach underneath to verify that the watch is indeed still there. The magician then makes a magical gesture and whips the handkerchief away, showing that the watch is gone! Magic is universally recognized as a wonderful form of entertainment,
both as a hobby and a professional art form. This book reveals the
secrets of a wide range of tricks and explains how to achieve a
polished performance, with tips and advice on planning, patter,
diversion, movements, rehearsing, and creating your own performance
style. This book is beautifully illustrated with 1,100 full color photographs.
