Overall
I would reccomend this book for begginers to intermediate magicians as it covers everything you need to know about street magic, mid magic, and party magic i have found the book very useful and would reccomend it to any one with an intrest of magic.

What's it called, mate?

couldn't you just read this on the blurb of the damn thing? not really a review now is it?

I have this book, it's called "Street Magic".

It's very good, for beginners to intermediates. Lots of nice clear photos, easy to understand.

It teaches your basic card stuff, basic coin stuff, one or two TT tricks, some mentalism.

Nothing in there an experienced card fiddler wouldn't know.

Best thing in it, in my opinion is "Out of this World".
