A great resource for someone serious about learning magic. Jay includes tips and detailed descriptions about how to perform so that you really capture the amazement of your audience. I recommend it for ages 10 to adult (though there are certainly younger budding magicians who might devour this book).
It has some good tips on how to take classic tricks and make them better. This book is excellent for the bare bone beginner and will give you a good ground work to start off. Granted, the scripts of the tricks aren't perfect, but I have always found that you need to edit them to your own style most of the time.
