Master the magician's most mysterious secrets! Bill Severn reveals all in this complete, easy-to-use guide to the magician's art. 

From sleight-of-hand stunners to astonishing feats of "mind-reading." Severn presents traditional favorites as well as delightful new twists on some of the classics of the magician's repertoire. Clear instructions, enhanced with detailed illustrations, take you step-by-step through hundreds of tricks and illusions, explaining everything from the basic movements to the sly subtleties that make the ordinary seem truly extraordinary.
