 Is this the real stuff? August 11, 2008
R. (Texas)
In martial arts history, there have been noted times when the methods or secrets of a system were altered so that only a select few (closed-door) students were allowed to learn the real deal while others were left with only a partial or fake set of techniques. This was to keep some knowledge secret to be useful to the teacher and his favorite students.
That's the kind of feeling I get as I've been reading through this book. And guess which set of techniques it feels like I got.
The tricks seem like they use techniques that are too simple so as to only fool children (which has been pointed out in other reviews) or are so out of date so as to not be useful. There is actually one trick where the secret is to sneak a look into another room through a keyhole...? Don't know about you, but most modern buildings I spend time in don't have those old keyholes or similar devices where that kind of "secret" could work.
I'll keep reading to find one or two tricks I might be able to modify to work. But I've found more impressive and less complicated and/or dated tricks for free in online searches.
Just glad I didn't spend a lot of money for this product.
More like a childrens book January 16, 2007

Like my title suggests i think this is more a book for children even though that is not who its ment for.
The tricks in this book is often so simple I wouldnt even think of performing them.
But it clearly states that it is not normal magic like you usually see, but mental magic.
I regret that i didnt spend my money on something else related to magic instead.

Speaking for my husband, an amateur magician, this book has been a tremendous help. It has easy to understand instructions, relatively easy tricks, but plenty of WOW power. Great for the beginner and pro alike.

Karl Fulves has been putting out these kinds of books for what seems like an eternity. They are good books for kids and even a skilled performer can pull some good material from these books.

The tricks in this book is so naive that the spectators will laugh at you if they are not SPED or under ten. But if you're a seven years old showoff/know-it-all then laugh you a#s off tricking yor friends
