Every Trick in the Book
Can you make a coin disappear? Or move a matchbook with your mind? As Charlie Dancey shows in this amazing book, the secret is simpler than one would ever guess. From unicycles to levitation to linking rings and other sleights-of-hand, Every Trick in the Book is the quirky, quintessential handbook to all the wild, wacky, and extraordinary tricks that will impress friends and family.
Charlie Dancey teaches the sort of magic that actually works, and it's easy to do once you know the secret. A born performer, Dancey has spent his life entertaining both on the stage and on the street. He carefully and cleverly explains each trick step-by-step in words, pictures, and diagrams that are remarkably easy to follow. Many are simple enough to learn in mere minutes, but there are also plenty of more challenging tricks that could take hours--or even years!--to fully master. So whether you want to handle poisonous snakes, tie knots or perhaps hone your whip-cracking skills, Every Trick in the Book will show you how.

This was my favorite childhood book. It's charming, entertaining, and dense.

I wish I had this book as a 7 to 13 year old. Has an Encyclopedia Brown type of feel to it. Lots of good stunts, tricks, and general knowledge in here that I could have gotten in trouble with at school and with friends. Paper water balloons? Hoooboy! Very well written and illustrated.
