Learn the secrets of visual illusions of magic. There aren't many things that are more fun than watching a really good magician perform, but there's one thing that is: and that's in doing the magic yourself. That's right. You can be your own magician and make your own magic show. It's fun and it's easy!
In Volume 1 of this two-part set, professional magicians Eric Anderson, King Chapman, Dan Garrett, The Amazing Houdanny, Howie Marmer, Richard Morris, & Cassandra Presto will teach you step-by-step how to perform 8 great magic tricks and visual illusions using everyday household items:

• Cut and Restored String
• Cutting a Deck with a Butter Knife
• My Favorite Cereal
• Sugar to Equal
|
• The Dangling Paper Clips
• The Invisible Hair
• Apple to Orange Presto Chanego
• The Sheep and Thieves Trick
|
But these great tricks are just the beginning! In five easy lessons, your magician friends will also teach you how and why visual illusions work, inside secrets that every magician uses and how to talk to your audience and bring out the performer inside of you. You'll discover how magicians rely on the power of science; visual illusions to fool the eye and scientific principles such as gravity, infrared light and magnetism to make the magic happen.
