THE KLUTZ BOOK OF MAGIC DRAWING FOR THE ARTISTICALLY UNDISCOVERED
Presto! The best magic book ever gets even more amazing. Although The Klutz Book of Magic is a beginner's volume, it is not filled with beginner magic. Maybe that's the secret of its success. This is real magic and these are real tricks, the kind you're not supposed to give away. We had to fight to get them and you, gentle reader, will have to take the Magician's Won't-tell Oath on the first page or we won't let you in the book. Comes with a magician's five-piece prop kit. This book includes a latex square that contains Natural Rubber Latex which may cause allergic reactions.

Twenty-five mazes, all of them endlessly re-usable since they are meant to be traced with a fingertip, not a pen or pencil. Featuring the work of talented illustrators, each maze stands on its own as a work of art. A number of the mazes go beyond paper-and-ink, needing three dimensions, or no peeking, or a few other tricky things we're just not at liberty to disclose right here.
