Another book that has been out about a year now and is great fun is The Magic Show, by Mark Setteducati and Ann Benkovitz, which is also available from Amazon.co.uk today!

This book contains about a dozen "interactive" tricks that anybody can do, and the book is really well put together - probably the best of the interactive, pop-up books that I have seen!

To date, I have ordered six of these - one for myself and the rest for friends, who have all received them both gratefully and enthusiastically!
