Now You See It, Now You Don't!: Lessons in Sleight of Hand

The kindle version appears to be photographed and pasted into a book format. The unfortunate part is that it is not pasted into the correct orientation so in order to read the text, you have to hold your head sideways. Due to it being a picture, I can’t change the font size—which is why I prefer the kindle format. Parts of some pages are not entirely captured. Total waste.

This book is fantastic step by step way to learn sleight of hand. It has a lot of lessons and they all build on each other. I've been looking for a way to pick up basic sleight of hand skills but I've never known where to start. This starts with the very basic basics then shows you how to grow.

This is one of those rare magic books that comes along and makes it very very easy for the beginner to pick up and learn real slight of hand. Im so happy to see this till in print I got my first copy back in early 80's and what a help it was in opening up my world of magic. I got this as a gift for a friend and Im sure it will do the same for them. The illustrations are very easy to follow and the text is well written. The true beauty of this book I feel is you need no knowledge of the art of slight of hand to start in it. The book takes you through the basics and into the advance handling.You will learn both the handling of cards and coins but tricks to do with them as well. I have this in my magical library and I suggest if you love magic you do to.

This is one of the best sleight of hand books ever written! The pictures are very helpful and one accompanies every single trick. Inside you'll find card sleights, flourishes, coin tricks (including simple routines), and other various sleight of hand tricks. One of my personal favorites is the thimble magic and changing spots trick. The rating system is especially helpful for beginning magicians as they attempt things like the French drop and simple coin vanishes.I always recommend this book to anyone interested in magic, even children can follow along! I think every amateur magician or magic enthusiast should own a copy.

When a book is showing you an illustration of a right hand, telling you to use the left hand... VERY confusing, pretty much worthless.

Palming tecniques. Used it to learn magic.

This book is very helpful for begginners who want to become experts. It has lots of good tricks but is not very advanced. It is not the only book you should buy, but if you want to perform good card tricks, with out getting caught, you should get this book.

This is one awesome book on slight of hand that was recommend to me and I am glad that I did purchase the book. I have been using it on a regular basis since I received it in the mail.

Even the beginner "1 star" tricks have truly awful descriptions that often make zero sense.If you want to learn slight of hand, I wouldn't get this book.

Great book! Highly recommended!

Perfektes Handbuch zum Lernen und Verstehen von zaubertricks. Unverzichtbare Ausrüstung für alle interessierten Anfänger und fortgeschrittene die sich mit der Materie beschäftigen wollen.

Für Anfänger die leichten basics hat mir das grundfahigkeit wie Kenntnisse gelehrt

Es ist eines der ersten Bücher die ich gekauft habe und dieses ist das einzige, das mich nicht enttäuscht hat. Es ist genau das, was man unter moderner Magie versteht und es bietet sehr viele Tricks, von denen fast alle lernenswert sind. Teilweise nicht einfach zu lesen bietet es dennoch eine Schritt für Schritt Anleitung die teilweise ein wenig zu schnell geht, darum nur 4,5, von 5 Punkten, aufgerundet 5. Echt lesenswert
