Productions
Changes
Restorations
Penetrations
Transpositions
Magnetic
Waxed
Routines

Cost
£2.15

Difficulty
3=Some sleights used

Review
For the simple fact the price is so low for people new to magic I would say buy it if your interested in TT’s. The book is easy to follow and set out in a practical way. The book is only about 36 pages but these pages hold a lot of information. I have never really got on with a TT but I still believe it is still a good book.

Overall
I would have to give it a 9 out of 10. Personally like I said I don’t get on with a TT but if your starting out and want to give using a TT a try this is probably a good place to start.

Magic is real, just look around you, some of the most amazing things have no reason, no explanation but are very real.

i agree with yr comments. i got the book for free with a TT. i also bought the Royal 25 tips with a TT DVD a couple of years ago. helpful in terms of understanding how to use a TT and some good routines. the TT is the kind of item that once you learn half a dozen tricks you can easily develop 100's of your own. for that reason i agree that the Royal TT book is small money VERY well spent.

I haven't got this book but I've got another similar book which I bought with my TT. I underestimated how good a TT is until I practised vanishing a little bit of paper over and over again in the mirror and then performed it for my dad and got a great reaction. A TT is definately a essential purchase for any magician

It's a useful book which anyone that's new to TT work will find something useful. It's also a fairly useful reference source for the more experienced magician that uses a TT occasionally.

However, for TT work it's hard to beat Darwin's Encyclopedia of TT Magic which I highly recommend.

this book was pretty useful for me when i first started using the TT. it pretty much told me that the possiblities are endless when using a TT and you can create many new effects.

but yeah, i agree that darwin's encyclopedia of TT magic is still one of the best.
