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."
