Summary: amazing...i don't think so
Comment: Amazing Irv doesn't deserve the title. The only trick in this book worth practising is the levitation, it is basically the classic baldacci levitiation, re-popularised by David Blaine and shown on his recent tv special. Other than that forget it. You would be better off with Karl Fulves Selfworking table magic - 97 fool proof tricks, as these require no set up, faked props or - most important, accomplices (i mean, it's hard enough finding friends nowdays let alone stooges). Oh yeah, Diamond Jim, when are you going to republish Pocketfull of Miracles ?
Sometime soon I hope.

Summary: Great for adults, kids, businessmen--a unique magic book!
Comment: Irv's clever tricks for everyday situations are perfect to entertain the family, your clients and customers, your friends--anyone and everyone. Sure, as Gregg points out, some of the tricks require a bit of prep, but hardly an inordinate amount. And every trick requires practice, if you want it to look good. All in all, this is a fabulous book of clever tricks, with a cool, modern approach you won't find in any other magic book out there.

Summary: ... !
Comment: I was REALLY disappointed with this book. The back of the book reads " Be ready to create magic anytime, anyplace with this entertaining book..." While this may be true, the majority of the tricks included in this book can only be performed with quite a bit of set-up. I had hoped that the book would provide me with magic tricks that I could perform "on the fly". Unfortunately, almost every trick in the book requires some sort of ridiculous set up using items that one could hardly classify as "everyday". Don't bother with this one. Sorry Irv, but I was not amazed.
