This is a really great book. The storyline and illustrations are lots of fun. But best of all is the interactive nature of the book which includes magic tricks for readers to try themselves at home. My daughters absolutely loved doing the tricks and were very excited to put on a magic show for daddy!

This is a really great book, also itâs big and great quality. We love magic so this was an instant hit. The story is really good and the illustrations are too.

The interactive part of this books is the show stopper! My 5-year-old cannot put it down and is constantly doing magic tricks which despite being easy are extremely good. This would make a great present and really is one of the best books we have had in a while. Highly recommended.
