Hi folks,

The Practical Encyclopedia of Magic by author Nicholas Einhorn, is an excellent book that cover lots of interesting stuffs, cards, coins, mentalism, money, papers, etc.

This book also covered famous magicians in the past as well as contemporary magicians such as David Blaine, Bred Daniels, etc.

This book also will highlight some useful sleights that you will apply in your own effects. There are lots of colourful illustrations and the author explained in step-by-step and in very detail manner.

Overall, this book should be owned as part of a collection which not only enjoyable to read but somehow this book also can serve as a useful reference.

I highly recommended this book! ;)
