Science Magic describes over a dozen easy-to-perform tricks, with sidebars explaining the scientific principles that make each one possible. Illustrated with color photos and drawings, the books in this series are engaging, but the pages are so crowded that it's sometimes hard to follow the step-by-step instructions. Glos., ind.

I Want to Do Magic series.
The volumes in this series introduce a number of illusions that can be performed using a deck of cards or some simple household objects. Illustrated with color photos and step-by-step drawings, the books explain how to stand an egg on its end and how to predict what card someone will choose, among other tricks. Unfortunately, the pages are so crowded and the actions so complex that it is sometimes difficult to follow the instructions. Glos., ind.
