Amazing Magic Tricks by Thomas Canavan is an awesome book of magic for children. It has wonderful, vibrant pictures. Magic Tricks/ Science experiments for those kids who can read and understand simple logic problems. My 11 year old boy would love this book and I think my 9 year old little girl would like it too. My 6 year old would love watching his brother or sister perform the tricks.
I received a free copy of this book in return for my honest opinion.

From what I can tell this appears to be a fun book of basic magic tricks for beginning magicians. I received an e-galley from NetGalley but it was not formatted correctly. This made it difficult to read on my device. The illustrations are fund and all the steps are portrayed for the reader. If I am able to get my hands on a print copy, this rating might increase.

A simply illustrated and explained book of magic tricks for children. Perhaps it is the teacher in me, but occasionally, I wanted more detailed illustrations and supply lists at the start. But this would be a fine book for young beginning magicians if you don't already have one in your library.

Amazing Magic Tricks will appeal to all young would-be magicians. Colorful illustrations and easy written directions make this a good choice for elementary age students wanting to learn a few magic tricks.
