A comprehensive course in sleight of hand complete in this classic book.

This simple learn-by-picture method makes it easy for anyone aged twelve and up to perform all the classic sleights just as they are done by the world's greatest professional magicians. Long-time magician Bill Tarr has teamed up with Barry Ross, an illustrator famous for his instructional sports diagrams, for easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions, so that with the help of more than 1,500 line drawings that capture each eye-fooling movement, you'll learn everything from simple sleights you can master in minutes to the great classics of magic. With ordinary objects - a regular deck of cards, a coin from someone's pocket, a few balls of crumpled aluminum foil - you'll soon be performing:

The Cups and Balls
The Three Shell Game
The Miser's Dream
Cut and Restored Rope
