A book for children?
Martin Gardner is an excellent writer and his other books have been a delight to read. Perhaps I would not have expected as much from this book if it had been labeled as being written for the 8 to 12 year old. Very young magicians are likely to enjoy this, but most adults interested in "mental magic" will probably be disappointed.

A Fun Book
A fun book for young Magicians, also has some ideas that can be food for thought for older Magicians to develop and put into their shows. A great value considering the high price of a lot of Magic books these days. --L Betz

An Good Book For Math Magic Lover !
I recommend this book for math magic lover. All the math tricks have pre-determined outcomes that either absolutely certain or have a high probability of being correct. Because the tricks has pre-determined outcomes, we will not be able to do the trick twice to the same audience. ... Read more

If you like the picture on the cover you'll like this book.
This is an adorable booklet but I rated it 4 out of 5 because it is very small - only about 4x6 inches. The back cover says:Read more

One of the best books for the younger set and for beginners!
I have had the pleasure of knowing Lilith and still try to keep in contact with her. True magick for the young witches among us
I purchased this book for my 9 year old son, a second generation Witch, and was fully expecting that I'd have to edit it for his consumption.After reading it I joyfully handed it over to him with no censorship and said "Go for it!"He is thrilled to have his first magick book and he has spent hours reading aloud to me from this text - an unexpected bonus.Leave trash like Teen Witch on the shelf, purchase this book and pass it on to your young ones, you won't regret it.Blessed Be

Way better than "Teen Witch"!
This is an excellent book for young people, written with a sense of humor and style. McClelland refuses to talk down to her audience, and offers ethical advice without preaching. Don't take my word for it - I'm just an old grownup. Real teens love this book: I lent my copy to a teen-age neighbor and he carried it everywhere in the inside pocket of his coat for a month! ...

Great book for beginnersand advanced
I am only 13 and this book really brought out my love for card tricks. It has card tricks for anyone and it has some great tips. This is my first book on card tricks and i loved it. So try it out and you might too.

Great resource of real card magic!
Don't be put off by the price.This volume contains a surprising number of great tricks, and clearly explains a good number of the basic techniques.It is written for the beginner, but it is fairly comprehensive, and the intermediate card magician will find much here as well.Come on, even if I'm wrong, look how much money you're out. ...

Great book
I didn't know anything about the game of Magic, but basically read this book for the Blackjack card counting story and the poker story.Very easy to read and interesting.I read it in 2 sittings and wanted to read more.Interesting to find out about other poker players that were into the game magic, thunder keller and david williams.Great book, highly recommended by this card shark...

Brains, games, making money and overcoming the odds.
Jon Finkel was an overweight, middle school nerd who was bullied, laughed at, and ostracized until he found his calling in a fantasy game called Magic. Magic combines the otherworldliness of Dungeons and Dragons with complex elements of card play and has become a cult game with tournaments of its own. In Jonny Magic and the Card Shark Kids, David Kushner follows the transformation of Finkel from teenage geek in the throes of Magic mania into a thin, sophisticated and extremely wealthy professional gambler who joins the highly successful blackjack counting team known as The Lawyers. The true-life story traces Finkel's evolution from bully magnet to World Champion Magic master, to card counter and shuffle tracker, to sports bettor, and onto the World Series of Poker. Throughout his adventures, Finkel is accompanied by the so-called "Card Shark Kids," a strange mix of misfits and brainiacs who find a sense of belonging through the addictive escape of Magic and carry that into the gambling world.
I loved this freaks and geeks story!
I'm not really one for books about Poker and games, but i read the last book by this author, Masters of Doom, and I saw a review of Jonny Magic in the New York Times book review that seemed interesting so I picked it up. I really loved it! Great characters--Finkel is a classic, and the storyreads like the most gripping fiction. David Kushner's writing style is humorous and riveting.I think this should be a movie or television show. ... Read more

One of my Favorite Cryptogram Books
I have been doing cryptogram puzzles for quite a few years now, and there's nothing like the feeling of "breaking the code", and finding the hidden message lying within what appears to be just an unintelligible jumble of letters.
