The Puffin Book of Magic Norman Hunter Vintage Children's Paperback Tricks for Magician

Book Snippet:

"The magic in this book will not enable you to turn your schoolteacher into a chocolate cream frog, or cause a mighty palace to arise in the back garden. But it does show you how to perform exciting, amusing, mysterious and somewhat joyous conjuring tricks, to entertain your friends and cause them to think you no end of a (clever chap or girl of course). It also shows you how to have a bit of fun making things used in the tricks, without also making too much of a mess.

E.B. white has written an outstanding book for children that is full of summer magic.

Norman Hunter, of the Professor Branestawm stories for you has included several tricks that he performs in his own magic act, which he lets off under the name of Ho Wat Fun.

Jill McDonald has waved her magic pen and produced of her newest hat the delicious illustrations.

"It will please boys and girls up to 11 years of age and is especially good for reading Aloud."

Kitty's Notes:

I remember doing some of these as a child like the mindreading trick and amazing my friends. They really are simple and great fun to do.

From the days before the irresistible enchantments of technology this book is recommended as a great trip back to the fun 1970's. You could even put on your own Magic Show for the next birthday party!
