Summary: I love you, Micah
Review: I know its just a book, but there's no other way to explain what Micah does other than calling it magic. Just give the book a chance and I promise you will experience the same magic that I have felt through Micah's eloquent writing. However, while the majority of the tricks are simple and, to be honest, somewhat worthless, there is one that I found simply mind-altering. You can see for yourself, but the trick where you disappear and end up in the closet is truly astonishing. I still haven't left.

Summary: Get It, it full of great stuff for beginners
Review: I used this book all the time when I was starting out. This was a refreshing breath of air from all the crap books I had bought prior. Buy It, it's worth the read. It outlines and shows you many sleights and great tricks you can do with them in a perfect blend of pictures and simple text.

Summary: Excellent magic, written by one of america's top magicians.
Review: The Magic of Micah Lasher is a book that teaches magic that many professional magicians use as a part of their shows. Along with teaching great magic, Micah also tells tips on how to be a better magician. There are also stories of magicians, and magic. This is a book that the beginner in magic should read, along with "Mark Willson's Complete Course in Magic"

Summary: the best close-up magic book for a beginner
Review: The tricks here, especially the card tricks, are very good and very classic, and (amazingly) to not require advanced manipulation techniques. A beginner can learn all of them in a few days by following Micah's step-by-step instructions. This is -not- one of the usual run of close-up magic books which seem to randomly mix trivial self-working tricks and professional-level slights, usually with far from sufficient explanation and no orderly plan for learning.This book won't make you an expert, but is definitely the very best one to get if you'd like to learn the basics. I hope it stays in print forever!
