520    "Magic is a word we use to describe something amazing, awe
       -inspiring, or spectaular. Truly great magic makes us 
       believe in things we know can't be real. In the hands of 
       the greatest magicians, even a simple card trick can 
       become truly wondrous. Now, in this nonfiction narrative 
       of magic through the ages, HP Newquist explains how the 
       world's most famous tricks were created. From the oracles 
       of ancient Egypt and the wizards of medieval Europe on to 
       the exploits of Houdini and modern practitioners like 
       Criss Angel, this book unlocks the secrets behind 
       centuries of magic and illusion. Fully illustrated and 
       including step-by-step instructions for eight classic 
       magic tricks, this book will have middle-grade readers 
       spellbound. "--|cProvided by publisher.
