Editorial Reviews

04/01/2018
Gr 2–5—These books start with tricks that rely on the most basic sleight of hand skills and gradually increase in difficulty. Each volume teaches a couple of new techniques—the ditch, the palm, forcing a card—and provides step-by-step instruction for creating props that enable junior Houdinis to levitate objects, conjure things out of a hat, or make them disappear. No specialty magic shop items are needed to perform the 10 tricks in each book. They are instead accomplished with household materials, such as paper bags, small toys, office supplies, balloons, and thread. Each step has a corresponding photo, but the highlight here is the online videos (accessed via the Capstone 4D app): two per trick, one performance video and one showing how the illusion is accomplished. VERDICT The added video tutorials enhance this rich, well-designed series. A win wherever magic is popular.
