Magic is the only subject kids beg to be told about.
Kids will happily ask how the coin vanished for an hour. The trouble is finding answers that explain how magic tricks work for kids without a lecture, and this book was built around that gap.
Curiosity on demand
Is magic real? Can they read minds? Every question kids actually ask gets its own page.

Misdirection, sleight of hand, props and practice, explained in a few lines and a picture.
Made to re-read
Short, bold pages invite a second look and an easy read-aloud.
So what if every question about magic could be answered in three quick takes?
