Why read it?
1 author picked Learn Magic as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is another important resource from my teenage years.
Henry Hay was the closest thing I had to a mentor. He had very good advice, a sense of humor, an encouraging attitude, patience, and an understanding of how to relate to an audience.
This is where I learned the basic repertoire of magic effects that were the features of my magic shows for many years. Some tricks may seem outdated, but the advice is golden.
From Allan's list on learning magic.
