Format:Paperback
This is the first book on magic that I bought and from there I learnt tricks that I still use in my routines now, 2 years on! It is very easy reading and takes you step by step through the basic sleights needed for more complex tricks. A very good read and definately worth the price.

If you see a book written by Karl Fulves on magic that has the words Self-Working in the title then buy it. There is a wealth of knowledge in each of these books. -Diamond Jim Tyler

Excelent choice
22 Dec 2005
Format:Paperback
I actually prefer this book to the first one. If you have any doubt about the effects in this book just learn the very first trick. I've used it for years and it just knocks people off their feet. Now, I do a lot of sleight of hand magic but a trick doesn't have to be difficult to be good. It's the crowd response that counts.
Like most of these Dover magic books, there are some real stinkers in there. But if you pick and choose you can find some real gems.
This is an excelent book for a young magician just starting out. It's a good choice overall.

Another great book!
6 April 2002
Format:Paperback
This is another really fine book of material for the average magician. Much is from 'Pallbeares Review', a magazine published by the author, and now considered one of the best sources for excellent material.
Many of the effects in this book are mathematical, and will fool most people,including magicians. The nice part is that you don't have to understand the mathematics, or why it works, to be able to do it. All that is required is attention to detail and good audience management. For that reason, the magician-to-be should be at least 12 years old, although some of the tricks could be done by someone who is younger.

Good Beginner Book
23 Nov 2005
Format:Paperback
All of Karl Fulves books are good for beginning magicians. When you read the effects they seem very simplistic, but with good presentations everything is very usable material. As a professional magician I am often asked where to start learning effects and this would be a good place.
