Learn the Art of Magic Manic hocus-pocus from a master
	Just about everything in Learn the Art of Magic with Jay Alexander is pitch-perfect for its young audience. And with its nostalgic poster art and music, adults will enjoy learning a few parlor tricks. There’s material on young illusionists of the past, such as Thurston, Houdini and Chung Ling Soo. You will also find a dictionary of magic slang and a section where kids can print out posters and tickets for their next magic show. The heart of the disc, however, is the tricks. There are five categories of illusions: Crazy Card Tricks, Radical Rope Tricks, Groovy Table Tricks, Money Money, Money and The Magic Set. A variety of props are also included. Most of the deception relies on simple sleight of hand and a diversionary line of chatter. The magic is not to hard to master, and each trick is explained as it is performed. Unlike many of the excessively sober “learn magic” books on the market. learning tricks with this disc is fun. The one secret I can reveal: This disc is absolutely terrific.
