A great gift for the professional magician!

Simple tricks are often assorted and fun. But whether you're a child or an adult, it's important that you get a good start and establish the fundamentals of what it takes to be a great magician. This work offers more than just that.

Designed for magicians of all ages, this work contains material often used by Carney and Misto. The Academy of Wizards has 31 tricks and novelties, including paper clips, bottles and straws, pencils, coins, dollar notes, playing cards and newspapers. Then there are some great impromptu dinner tricks including napkins, plates, silverware, glasses and bread rolls. Throughout the fun there is lots of great advice on practice, creativity, tricks and presentation.

Here are all the tools a beginner magician needs to progress to the next level, and some great bits that even professionals will want to add to their skills.
