Series Review: Inside Magic"Given the more than 40 tricks in each of these books, serious young magicians will be well on their way to adding some impressive skills to their repertoire...[The] more sophisticated approach, combined with acknowledgments of the tricks' originators, and the professional organizations listed in the further-reading sections add weight to the books. These features and the instruction-manual format featuring an adult showing the tricks make the series suitable for those who already have a high interest in the subject."
--School Library Journal
Book Review:
"This book is magical. The author/publisher did a great job with the format and picture placement since this book is rather elementary, yet appeals to the middle school student because of the content...a great addition to a middle school collection that emphasizes reading nonfiction for enjoyment."
--Kat Goldin, Grapevine Middle School
