This ambitious book explains in great detail, with clear photographic illustration, how to perform classic sleights essential for the manipulation of coins, billiard balls and thimbles. It also has in-depth sections on mental magic, matchbox tricks, table magic and visual magic effects.  A great text-book on magic.
