Mark Wilson’s Complete Course in Magic has been dazzling readers and aspiring magicians for fifty years. It is the most comprehensive guide to planning and performing magic tricks. Mark Wilson was one of the world’s premier practitioners of classic magic, with years of experience instructing beginners in the magical arts. Acclaimed by the Los Angeles Times as “the text that young magicians swear by,” it’s full of step-by-step instructions and more than 2,000 informative photos and illustrations. From basic card tricks to advanced levitation, this book covers all a new magician could want to know.
This anniversary edition includes new, never-before-published photographs of Mark Wilson and his magic team, as well as endearing forewords by Greg Wilson (Mark’s son) and Teller. With dozens of stunning tricks clearly and thoughtfully explained, you’ll soon become a master with the power to dazzle and stun any audience of your own magic show.
