Would you believe that you could ask a full-grown man to hold a penny for you and then tell him to drop it and finds he canrsquo;t; hard as he may try?In what is undoubtedly the most original magic book of our time; John Fisher shows the reader how; with minimal practice; he can use the marvels of the human body to entertain and mystify friends and family; small and large audiences.This book is first of all a delight to read because of the instant education it provides us with about the unknown powers we have in our hands; our eyes; our noses; and our incredible nervous system. In each case; Mr. Fisher shows the easy-to-grasp principle first and then how to put the principle to work in actual tricks.Most magic books require a great deal of study and dexterity. This one enables you to entertain people even before you have finished the book. Moreover; you never have to worry about being prepared; because you always have with you all the miraculous things you needmdash;your hands; your eyes; and the rest of your body.

While I thought the subject matter compelling and the writing sufficient; the quality of the images in the book was poor; even amateurish for a photography-based book; the paper quality was horrendous and the books size is much smaller than expected for the price. Such an important topic and historic subject matter warranted much better and higher quality production and treatment.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Going HomeBy Toots042I was born and raised in Milw but our community was never known as Bronzeville.Altho I was only 10 in 1950; there were many many memories in the book; my grammar school;Ninth Street School; the Regal Theater that we were able to go to on Sundays but only if we had gone to church first; St Marks AME; Lapham Park social Center; the picture of the gas station; Tankar; that was on the corner of 8th and Walnut Street and 2 spaces just north of where I was born and raised; St Benedict Boarding school where my mother spent her formative years; on and on.I remember my mother; Gwen Kleckley; working with Vel Phillips on her political endeavors. My Dad; Mose Kleckley; had Kleckleys Poolroom at 811 W Walnut in the basement of the Robeson building during this time.I went home in Aug 2012 after having left in 1963 and there was nothing there.The trip was rather disappointing but the book made me cry. We had created so much in such a small area and the city saw fit to run the freeway right thru it.My tearful thanks to all who contributed to the creation of this book. I love it and wish it had covered more years; 1950 thru 1960 or so; before it disappeared. Bless you all.Toots0420 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great bookBy The Sunlight CallerThis book was a little before my time (1951) smile. I still remember from friends and family about Bronzeville; Walnut Street and all the other places in the community before urban renewal changed the area. I wish that a follow up in the makings from 1951 to the 80s. A great book if you are a Milwaukee lover.
