Books with author Terry Eagleton

Boxed together in this attractive package are a standard deck of playing cards and an illustrated 64-page book containing how-to instructions for performing 25 astonishing card tricks. Kids learn to do the “Mind Bender,” in which the spectator’s chosen card eerily rises out of the deck. They’ll also discover the secrets behind “Clip a Card,” in which a paper clip moves mysteriously from one card to another . . . as well as “Predictive Power,” where they learn to name a card, then pick it successfully from a full deck. These and many more feats of card magic are clearly explained and supplemented with color photos that demonstrate each move. Here’s a giant helping of pure fun in a small package! (Ages 8 and older)
