“Harry (I believe) wrote this book for people who had an interest in starting out
performing magic. It has the clearest of instruction; and covers so many useful principles of magic.
I would not only unreservedly recommend this book to people starting out; but also to any magician that wants to make a living as a professional, magical entertainer.
Indeed, it's title of 'THE Magic Book' could not be more deserving.
It is, in my honest opinion, the GREATEST book of magic ever produced.
Words cannot express my most sincere gratitude and thanks, to the Master himself.......Mr Harry Lorayne.”
