Anyone who has ever dreamed of being a
magician will find out just how to go about it _
in this book. Gyles Brandreth describes more
than forty tricks, first as the audience sees –
them and then as they are really done by the
magician, and suggests the kind of patter
you might use to divert the audience during
your performance. All are surprisingly easy
to master, and if you follow the author's ten
golden rules, you will soon be able to put on
The Greatest Magic Show on Earth!
Gyles Brandreth is the author of many
books of quizzes, games and jokes for
children. He lives in London, and has performed
his magic on TV and in theatres
throughout the U.K. and U.S.A.
