Book HIghlight: How to Fool Your Parents
A fun way to spend your book-related gift cards!
Filled with tricks and history both: short bios of magicians, histories of some of the most well-known tricks (like saw-a-person-in-half), and some really fun intro to magic.
Kwong emphasizes the performance throughout, as he schools young magicians on slight-of-hand and clairvoyance. He introduces young magicians to the cross cut force card trick and simple maneuvers like "reading" the vibrations of a crayon and guessing the color picked by your parents by digging a small piece of the crayon under your nail while it's behind your back.
Some tricks do require adult supervision (one involves baking a card into a cookie), but overall, these are fun, easy tricks to perform on parents, grandparents, and friends. Young readers will use this book until the pages fall out.
Being a sucker for good magic tricks, this sounds like a winner. Thanks for sharing, Holly.
