AbracadabraJune 2, 2008 Lawrence R. Oleary 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Great in depth knowledge in how to be professional at the art of Magic. I am not worried about the ticks being exposed at all as the ones in this book are old well known examples designed to open the magicians mind to creating their own acts. If you are serious about learning magic this book is a good overall manual for developing your skill to a higher level. From understanding stage demeanor to training techniques this book is a great read. Lawrence O'Leary
Very thorough and entertainingAugust 11, 2007 Gregory Lewis(Fort Worth, TX United States) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book did not disappoint. A well researched body of work and written for the average layperson. While some of the chapters stalled in certain areas, the overall work is great for those who must figure out how these magicians do the "impossible" tricks they do.

Magicians use more than smoke and mirrors to deceive audiencesJanuary 2, 2006 Midwest Book Review(Oregon, WI USA) 5 out of 6 found this review helpful
Magicians use more than smoke and mirrors to deceive audiences, but their secrets are rarely revealed. Writer and magic enthusiast Nathaniel Schiffman's Abracadabra! Secret Methods Magicians And Others Use To Deceive Their Audience provides a lay reader's guide to common methods used to fool or mislead audiences. While experiments and magic tricks are included, the focus here is on how a magician manipulates the audience toward belief: an intriguing expose is created.
