Magic has always captivated and amazed children, but learning the secrets behind this mysterious art has never been easy — until now. Introducing Children's Book of Magic, an introduction to the world's most amazing illusionists, magic tricks and magicians. Tracing the history of magic from its origins in Ancient Egypt to the rise of stage performance in the 1900s and up to and including magic of the present day, Magic also includes 20 tricks for kids to put on their own show by learning from the 8 schools of magic: production, vanishing, transformation, restoration, teleportation, escaping, levitation, and prediction. Card tricks, coin tricks, escapology, and more are presented in step-by-step sequences, while biography spreads highlight the great works of history's greatest magicians including Hieronymus Bosch, Harry Houdini, Howard Thurston, and modern day performers such as David Blaine and Dynamo. With Children's Book of Magic kids can dive in and discover the secrets of sleight of hand, the power of performance, and the mysteries of misdirection needed to perfect their skills.

I checked this book out at our public library without looking at it for my 6 years old child. There are some magic tricks for your child to learn, but there is also a history on Magic, which has sections including witchcraft and the occult, sorcery, conjuring, and wizards. If you are just looking for a book that teaches your child only tricks and not history, then this is not the book for you. The positive thing about the book are the tricks in the book are pretty neat for any kid to learn. Some of the tricks are the tightrope ball, impossible predictions, the magic string, and cups and balls to name a few. The instructions for each trick seem easy to follow.

Horrible book for young kids because it's not just magic tricks. It includes sections on sorcery, witchcraft, the occult, Wicca, etc.Save your money and buy a magic trick book if that's what your kid wants, not a history of magic book.

Excellent book for young children who are interested in magic
