I enjoyed this book and tried to leave a review on Amazon but it said that the title isn’t eligible for a review.
The cover of the book looks fun and the illustrations are eye catching makes you want to delve in.
There is a lot in this book to intrigue and captivate young children. There are mysteries and curiosities to get little minds thinking and tricks to try out too. There are some brilliant facts and historical stories and all in all I think it’s a fantastic book which would make a lovely gift.

A beautifully illustrated introduction to magic, illusions and tricks perfect for any budding magician, trickster or mischief maker! The book covers secrets of infamous magic illusions and tricks, stories of some of history’s most notorious hoaxes, pranks, and cons as well as spotlighting famous illusionists, pranksters and escape artists.

What a seriously fun book! This children’s book depicts all manner of magic tricks and historic hoaxes, with fantastic illustrations and design, and an interactive element to test your detective skills along the way. I could definitely see giving this as a gift to the little ones in my life- and further, the adults getting just as much of a kick out of it all.

Thank you to author Tom Adams, illustrator Jasmine Floyd, Quarto Publishing Group – Wide Eyed Editions, and NetGalley for providing this ARC for review consideration. All opinions expressed are my own.
