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. |

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.”
“Thoroughly enjoyable and will surely interest, excite, and...inspire
many young adult readers….”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“One of the more charming and thoughtful introductory magic texts for
young readers that I’ve had the pleasure to come across.”
“Of real value to young magicians and worthy of adding to your library.”
