MAGIC: The Complete Course by Joshua Jay is one of the best books for beginners in magic. Featuring an incredible variety of amazing magic tricks, this magic book has taught and inspired countless magicians around the world.

How do professional magicians learn their magic tricks?

Every magician, from Justin Willman to Shin Lim, Michael Carbonaro, David Blaine, Dynamo and even David Copperfield had to start somewhere. And, for many, this usually meant reading magic books at the library. While these were, and still are, fantastic resources, there was often a lot of repetition across these books and the presentations were sometimes outdated.

So, world-renowned Magician Joshua Jay set out to create the beginner magic book that he wished he had growing up. Instead of offering the same basic magic tricks found in every other book, Jay wanted to showcase easy magic tricks that were simple enough for a beginner magician to learn but also powerful enough for a professional magician to continue using long into their career.

Magic Tricks for Beginners

This magic book shares the secrets to magic tricks for kids and adults. The curriculum spans everything from card tricks to coin tricks, money magic, magic for kids, magic to do at work or for friends, impromptu magic, mentalism, putting a magic act together and so much more.

Most importantly though, MAGIC: The Complete Course, is designed to help beginner magicians start off on the right foot by giving magic the praise it deserves as an artform and emphasizing the importance of presentation (something lost in many other beginner magic books).

MAGIC: The Complete Course is a nearly 200-page softback book. All of the easy-to-follow explanations are accompanied by gorgeous full-color photographs that make learning magic tricks easier than ever.

There is no better way to start learning magic tricks than with MAGIC: The Complete Course. This book is bound to make you fall in love with magic.
