About this title

Synopsis:

Make broken objects whole, read minds, make objects vanish and reappear, induce a hypnotic trance - all these and many other classic manoeuvres are within the grasp of aspiring magicians. One of the world's most famous practitioners opens up his bag of tricks with this book, revealing 200 masterful deceptions that can be performed without prior skill, training, or special equipment. Drawing both from his own extensive repertoire and from those of the other greats, John Scarne explains the secrets behind a tremendous variety of illusions that can be pulled off in any situation, from a large stage to a small room, using only common, easily obtainable props. Scarne reworked each of these clever ruses to eliminate their manipulative moves, and his streamlined, simplified explanations reward a brief study with an impressive repertoire of tricks.
