This book is designed so that the beginner magician can get started right away on dozens of fun and easy tricks. They are designed to use very simple, around-the-house type of props. Things such as cups, pens, playing cards, rabbits, etc. (Well, okay, you don't really need a rabbit.) My favorite trick was under the "Comedy Magic" section. In the "Wrong Card" trick, the magician can't seem to find the right card, then finally stomps on the bag in disgust. Lo and behold, the right card is stick on the bottom of his shoe! How did he do it?
