| 2. |  | Tricks of the Mind
from Channel 4 Books, a division of Transworld Publishers
Customer Review:
Derren has a lot of interesting things to say about anything connected to "mind-stuff"". It's also fun to read. If you're interested in NLP the book is almost compulsory, perhaps the only sensible stuff written about NLP ever actually. | 5.0 / 5.0

The basic treatise on card magic. Though somewhat outdated, this is still the fundamental course on card sleights. Pretty good tricks in here too. Sound learning principles: learn sleight, learn tricks using the sleight, only then move on to next sleight. As this is inexpensive every magician ought... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Any book with Steve Axtell on the cover gets my attention. Ax is one of the driving forces in puppetry, and would not pose for a cover on a whim. Bruce & Paul, the authors, have collected all the basics needed to start practicing vent. Lots of good tips for beginners on performance, sample... more info | 5.0 / 5.0
