Instant Magic

Kids can amaze family and friends with these fun-to-perform magic tricks. Instructions on color-illustrated two-page spreads start with the trick's name and include required materials, advance preparation tips, and easy, step-by-step directions for performance. Typical tricks include "Hanky Panky," a vanishing coin trick performed with a handkerchief; and "Who's Who," in which the magician correctly identifies the writers of hidden messages from among a small group of volunteers. An extra bonus trick is concealed in the book's binding. Hold the book up for all to see, then pull a ribbon that opens a drawer built into the book's spine. Out pops the empty drawer. Push it back in again and pull the ribbon once more. This time the drawer is filled with magician's props! They include magic dice, a magic rope, and more! The secret to performing this trick is shown on the book's back cover.
