With characteristic wit and directness Mr. Lorayne explains secrets of a few simple techniques that will enable anyone to perform the most complicated magic. He guides the novice magician through the principles of performance and execution which he perfected over decades of trial and error. In a short time you’ll be amazing yourself and friends with incredible feats of legerdemain – card tricks, coin tricks, number tricks, and much, much more.

Best of all - there are no props to buy, no preparations to make, no gadgets to construct. Every feat in this book is done with basic items, a deck of cards, coins, rubber bands, even a potato.

After the basics Mr. Lorayne provides simple step-by-step instructions for many amazing tricks and, after each section, Harry discusses the problems most beginners may have with the trick just taught. He teaches the philosophy of performing magic as it has never been taught before. And,  there are over 200 illustrations to help make the learning process simple and fun! Enjoy!!
