 A rare treat December 22, 2004

This is a unique book. Delightful is the best word to present this gem. This is something that you will spend a full hour with the first time around, whether you are an adult or not, a magic buff or not. And yku will want to show others again and again. I have given many copies of this book to friends (adults and kids alike) and all were absolutely thrilled. THIS BOOK WILL DELIGHT EVERYONE. Even those who may not be interested in magic will be delighted. It is fun for the kid in all of us as well as the the most diehard cerebral nerd. Made in heavy cardboard, it is a little fragile, but kids soon learn to treasure it. This will last a long time with the pre-teen crowd...and teens...and adults.
 A mixed bag... June 3, 2000

The idea of a self-performing magic book is a nice one. To be sure, this book is cleverly designed.However, the tricks are a mixed bag... Some are ingeniously designed; others entail simple arithmetic tricks (that even a ten year old could work out).
The only book of it's kind. I loved it! June 1, 2000

This book is the most unique experience I have had in a book. I think everyone will love it! It is so creative and entertaining. I am a professional magician and I was fooled. I highly reccomend it. Makes a fun gift.

... Mark Setteducati and Anne Benkovitz have presented in the simple, yet interactive tricks that create a welcome distraction from the age of high-tech games, computers, and television. The book is presented like a magic show, prompting for audience (or reader) participation. It begins with the cover and does not necessarily end at the very last page, which contains additional props if you want to revisit one of the tricks for a skeptical audience or if you want to add a different spin on one other trick. There is a reset book (to reorganize everything for the next performance) that also consists of presentation suggestions for some of the tricks. "The Magic Show" uses both mathematical and optical illusions to amuse young and old. The tricks can stimulate thinking for the younger audience when they ponder "How did they do that?" If you are a parent or just an adult who is young at heart and appreciates magic, this is an enjoyable book to purchase for yourself or to give as a gift to a budding Houdini.
