5.0 out of 5 stars Nothing up my sleeve AND....Ooops, Aug 27 2002
This review is from: Mark Wilson's Complete Course in Magic (Hardcover)
As an amateur magician I can say this is the best magic book I have ever come across. There are many beginner through advanced type tricks. So what ever your level of experience you will learn something.

A word of warning, make sure you read all of the associated material before attempting a trick. I did not do so and Noodles, our pet cocker spaniel, is still missing. Unfortunately so is the magic book. The family eagerly awaits the replacement text I've ordered. Per my attorney, I am not at liberty to discuss the "sawing a body in half" trick but please be careful.

Enjoy!

4.0 out of 5 stars Really good introductory stuff!!, Jun 7 2002
By Leonardo M P Santos (Brasília, DF Brazil) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mark Wilson's Complete Course in Magic (Hardcover)
My mom gave me this book about 10 years ago, when I was 13. I has taught me soooo much and gave me all the basics that I needed to get underway with later, more advanced stuff. It teaches, for example, the basic (and thus, of course, limited) versions of such sleights as the French Drop and the Double-Lift. At that point I could already do tricks that fooled a lot of people, although not many of the real kickers. There are some very good tricks in it, of course, such as his "Sandwiched Aces" which, even today, I use in my repertoire. This is a springboard from which you can (and should) go to the PhD stuff, such as Paul Harris, Harry Lorraine, Ed Marlo, Gary Ouellet. This course is, therefore, a highly-recommended introduction to close-up magic.

5.0 out of 5 stars The biggest and the best, Dec 13 2001
By Jmark2001 (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mark Wilson's Complete Course in Magic (Hardcover)
You can't beat the value of this one. 300 tricks CLEARLY explained so that you can begin doing them in front of your friends and family in just a few hours (well, at least some of the tricks). I remember Wilson from TV. He was a great performer, a family man, a lover of magic. This is the best bang for your buck!
