Big, bold, colorful and full of great tricks for both small and big kids (yes, adults) alike. Ken and his daughter Kristen take you step by step, in words AND pictures, making the props, and doing the performance. Each trick also includes a web link to a performance of the trick and graphics for props. Graphics are also found in the book but it is much too good looking a book to cut up.Great size, thick end boards for long life (and abuse), colorful, well laid out (although I'd like to see a bit more border at the expense of font size), and easy to understand.Best of all, Ken explains the secret of magic in the introduction: it's not just about the secrets but also the performance. Magic is YOU!"Why should I buy the book if the I can find the content free on the web?"1. This is a beautifully crafted book2. Call me old fashioned (and I am) but having a tangible item available anytime is more satisfying than to be at the mercy of the local WiFi connection.C. Supporting performers/makers/artists/creators (magicians are all four) is cool. So be cool and buy this book.
Having two kids (6 & 3 years old), this book has been PERFECT for not only learning how to perform magic tricks for them, but to get them involved with actually doing the tricks themselves! With my 6 year old boy, especially, he's putting on his own shows and trying new things, and that, by far, is the best thing a parent can teach their children. He's gaining confidence, learning how to get in front of people and present, and it's amazing. Our 3 year old daughter, she's a little too young to perform some of the tricks in the way that they are supposed to be done of course, but she tries, and she'll get there, I'm sure.The quality of the book is outstanding too. The content, the pictures, and the feel of the whole book is top-notch, and I want to thank the entire Kelly family for putting this great resource together!
Huge fan of Ken & Kristen! You'll love this book whether it's for yourself or your child. Easy to understand, beautiful images and access to the entire presentation with a video link to each trick! This book will be the best investment your make towards a fun career of entertaining with magic. Perfect gift for the child that is interested in performing magic for friends and family!
As a professional magician teaching young people, I am always looking for a quality instructional book that is age appropriate, easy to understand, uses different and interesting magic effects, and is not overpriced. This is that book, and one I will be using with future children's magic classes! Thank you Ken & Kristen Kelly!
I never leave reviews, but this is so awesome I made an exception. Why this book is the best choice:1. A lot of pictures. Text books are hard to visualize2. Online links to videos. Fun to watch the trick and see what the audience sees.3. 30 tricks?! That's a lot!4. Household items mean we can do ALL tricks with stuff we already have. No buying super expensive pre made tricks5. These tricks are awesome. Not corny simple ones. Even grown ups are getting stumped.
This book is a must-have for any child interested in magic.The tricks are well explained, but there is also a video link for each one - so even if you are a visual learner, the magic is easy to learn.Not only that, but instructions on how to make the props too. So pleased I bought this book.Lisa
I'd like to say a huge thank you to the Kelly family for making such a practical, informative and most of all fun book on how to make and perform magic. I am blown away by the value I've received, 30 magic tricks (all good, no duds or space fillers) with fantastic pictures, links to videos and also performance tips. I wish this book was around when I was learning magic. I would highly recommend this book to any children's magician, parent, school teacher or for someone who wants to buy a young person a really great gift.
