However, even amateur magicians will find much of value here.

Those who know have called the book sensational, others, novel and original, while all highly endorse the practical value and the effectiveness of the magic that is so thoroughly explained and illustrated.

  "First class material. Mr. Brent uses a number of the tricks described in his own act. 'Novel Magic' is smart magic." (J. G. Thompson, Jr.)

"Some of the cleverest and most entertaining effects seen in a long time."   (Mitch Kanter)

"Twenty-seven effects for professional and amateur magicians. There is a cigar band stunt that can be used in bars or parlors which is exceptionally good. Under the heading 'Matches of Jinx', Lu Brent has about as cute an effect as any amateur would want. For the stage and night club magician, he has a non-mechanical 'Glass Through Hat' which he terms 'My Pet Trick'. You will like it." (Walter B. Gibson)

Magic World revised and updated edition of the 1946 Kanter (second) printing. Includes several edits, clarifications and updates, plus two new chapters. Completely reset in crystal clear type.
