For over a generation, The Amateur Magician’s Handbook has been the go-to resource for both novice and seasoned magicians. Endorsed by the legendary David Copperfield, this book has ignited the passion for magic in thousands of performers, many of whom have gone on to become renowned in the field.
This fourth edition, meticulously revised and expanded, includes invaluable insights from Milbourne Christopher and a special contribution from the Amazing Randi on using video for self-coaching. Packed with hundreds of illustrations, this edition teaches you the art of magic in a clear and engaging manner.
What You’ll Learn:
- Master classic tricks like pulling rabbits from hats, reading minds, and turning red handkerchiefs green.

- Understand the psychology of magic and how to captivate your audience with every performance.
- Explore the art of entertaining children, a skill that can be both rewarding and profitable.

As Henry Hay himself says, “If I hear of someone’s studying The Amateur Magician’s Handbook and then climbing out of the amateur class by getting paid for a show, I shall be satisfied.”

Henry Hay – The Amateur Magicians Handbook
For more than a generation The Amateur Magician’s Handbook has been the acknowledged classic text for conjurers， both beginners and advanced. Even David Copperfield recommended it during one of his TV specials. Literally thousands of magicians found their love for magic through this book. Several of these magicians are today recognized performers. This fourth edition， expanded as well as thoroughly revised， and introduced by Milbourne Christopher， includes a section where the Amazing Randi contributes his experience using video for self-coaching.
This new edition teaches， briskly yet carefully， with hundreds of illustrations， all the skills and secrets of the wizard’s repertoire： reading minds， pulling rabbits from hats， turning red handkerchiefs green， dissolving konts， pouring drinks from empty jars， dealing yourself all the aces， finding silver dollars in the air， to name a few.
The Amateur Magician’s Handbook stands alone in showing how and why magic works as entertainment： how spectators think and how you must think， and feel， to make puzzling tricks pleasing.
A comprehensive new section covers the difficult but rewarding (and potentially profitable) art of entertaining children.
The final sections tell you what you need to know about conjuring beyond the tricks： comedy; pantomime; music. An extensive bio-bibliography includes not only the great conjurers of the past but also the up-and-coming conjurers of today.
Lastly， author Henry Hay offers guidance on making magic make money for you. “If I hear of someone’s studying The Amateur Magician’s Handbook and then climbing out of the amateur class by getting paid for a show，” says Henry Hay， “I shall be satisfied.”
