Allan wrote A Book of Magic for Young Magicians, The Secrets of Alkazar to help aspiring magicians develop the most important skills of the magical arts. Each chapter is devoted to a single trick and a general principle that can be applied to almost any magical illusion.  Readers learn to perform baffling mysteries with cards, coins, ropes, and other everyday items. Special tips from the notebooks of Alkazar, a master magician and Allan’s teacher, help students focus on the key elements of each mystery.  Readers who master these lessons (and put in the necessary practice) will be able to perform dazzling magic any time and any place.
     A Book of Magic for Young Magicians is recommended for readers age ten and up.

 
Critical Acclaim for Allan Zola Kronzek’s
A Book of Magic for Young Magicians
The Secrets of Alkazar






“Undoubtedly the best [magic book] so far…this well-written methods manual aims at quality over quantity [and] challenges the imagination…. A must for all magic collections.”
                                                                                            -School Library Journal

“Thoroughly enjoyable and will surely interest, excite, and...inspire many young adult readers….”
                                                                                             -Journal of Reading
 

“We all know that cards never speak to us, that cut ropes do not mysteriously mend, that you cannot wrap the magician and then unwrap a quite different person, but so it appears. How disbelief is sent into hiding is what this book tells, only in elegant detail.”
                                                                                            -Scientific American
 

“This is what a magic book for kids should be.  Each chapter takes a classic effect and explains that effect in the context of some aspect of magic or performance theory…. serves as the general review all of us need from time to time.”
                                                                               - Magic, An Independent Journal of Magicians
 

“One of the best books for the aspiring magician I have come across….A great ‘early’ book so well written that even an old-timer could benefit from studying it.”

                                                                                    International Brotherhood of Magicians 

“One of the more charming and thoughtful introductory magic texts for young readers that I’ve had the pleasure to come across.”
                                                                                  -Genii, The Conjuror’s Magazine
 

“Of real value to young magicians and worthy of adding to your library.”
