A book you will geniunely enjoy
I noticed that a previous reviewer gives Colorful Illusions as a frequent gift. I do too! The book is a skillful blend of art book, puzzle book, gift book and educational book (but don't tell my children!). We learned a little about how colors can trick your eyes and we enjoy going back and forth over the puzzles. Very artistic, not at all your usual black and white slap-dash illusion book. It is really a book of art. I was also attracted to the easy-to-follow writing, I think Aki Nurosi is a genuine talent and my family looks forward to more books.

I really love Colorful Illusions
This is a fun and pretty and easy to read book. You should see all the ways that colors can fool you. I was amazed!

Best homework assignment
My teacher had us read ColorfulIllusionsfor an assignment and we didn't know what to think until we started reading it. The book is really pretty and really fun to use and figure out the puzzles and it's just so plain and simple and nice to read. You should read the book and try the puzzles and buy it on Amazon. com and you will see what I mean! ... Read more

The 1st magic book I ever got and still the best.
I am a street magican at the Georgia Ren Fair and 85% of the tricks I use on the street come from this book. I got this book back when I was about 11 years old and have found it invaulable!
Complete Course in Magic
This book is GREAT for beginner magicians.It explains everything crystal clear, and gives great pictures to help you learn.This book makes it extremely easy to learn magic, that even a kid could do it.This book is overflowing with magic from the first to the last page.He starts you on basic self-working card tricks, then you start learning some card tricks that require sleight of hand.What is really great about the magic tricks in this book is that they are easy to master.It does not take very long at all to have them mermorized and be able to perform them.He also teaches you various methods of forcing cards.After that, he explains some different and gimmiked cards and what kind of tricks you can do with them.Then comes one of my absolute favorite part in the book.This is also the hardest part in the book, and it is flourishes.He goes from the one handed cut to the one hand fan to springing the cars, and finally ends at throwing a card.The other half of the book is dedicated and filled with coin, rope, silk and hankerchief, impromptu, mental, and billard ball magic.He also goes over some magic tricks which he defines as "betchas".Furthermore, at the end of the book there are some miscellaneous magic tricks.All these sections and tricks are explained just as beautifully as the card tricks.This is an AMAZIng book, and if you are a beginner and just starting magic THIS IS THE BOOK TO GET!!!

Great Magic

Explosive start in magic
Easy Card Tricks is a must for the student beginning to learn card tricks. This was the first card trick book I ever bought and found it to be very easy to understand and follow. You will be the life of the party doing "Prints of Magic" and "Stop Sign". Hats off to you Mr.Longe for getting me started in close up card magic with this book. ... Read more
