Learn Magic

Summary: A good book about magic
Review: For those of you who have never tried doing magic, well, it's fun! It's all about deception. And as this book shows, with a little practice, you'll have even professional magicians not being sure just which hand that coin they saw is now in. If there's no telltale clicking (called "talking") when you snuck that coin into the hand with another coin in it, well, you'll be surprised how many people fall for it.

Sure, if they are watching carefully when you, say, palm a card from a deck, they'll see it. But this book aims to teach you how to get them distracted so they won't watch carefully.

Maybe the most fun was the last couple of dozen pages, about stage illusions. Hay explains the trick of sawing a woman in two. "Obviously, however, you have to use two girls - not one to saw up and one to restore, but one for the head and one for the feet." And if you happen to be the "head" girl, remember to roll your head from side to side with each stroke of that saw.

Summary: A good book to learn the art of magic...
Review: If you are one of those people who wanted to learn the art of magic and amaze your friends and relatives, but did not know where to start... well your quest has ended.

Henry Hay teaches you not only how to "Learn Magic," but also how to master it and be able to entertain not only your close and dear ones, but also pursue the art of magic more seriously...

If you ever thought I want to be a David Copperfield, a Paul Daniels, or even a David Blaine, a Penn and Teller, here's your starting point! Where you end it is entirely up to you.

Remember, the sky is the limit.. or is it ?!
