Add a true classic of magic literature to your collection with The Amateur Magician’s Handbook by Henry Hay.
For generations, The Amateur Magician’s Handbook has introduced aspiring magicians to the fundamentals of the magical arts. Rather than simply presenting a collection of tricks, Henry Hay explores the techniques, principles, presentation, and thinking that go into becoming a better magician.
The book covers a wide range of magic, including card magic, coin magic, sleight of hand, mental magic, apparatus magic, stage magic, and more. Hay also discusses important subjects such as misdirection, presentation, practice, and how to entertain an audience—skills that are just as valuable as knowing the secret to a trick.
This is an excellent book for beginners who want to develop a strong foundation in magic, but it is also a wonderful addition to the library of experienced magicians, collectors, and students of magic history.
Great For:
Beginning and intermediate magicians
Students of sleight of hand
Card and coin magic enthusiasts
Magicians interested in presentation and misdirection
Collectors of classic magic books
Building a magician's reference library
Fans of vintage and traditional magic
