Can anyone recommend a good book on magic tricks for a child?
I would like to get my 8 year old niece a book on magic tricks, preferably one that would allow her to utilize easy to find things from around the house. Can anyone recommend one? Thanks!

Start here - the Dover ones for kids are good and as she gets older - if she maintains an interest - the Mark Wilson has a good rep!!! |

The Mark Wilson book is still one of the best.

My first thought was also the Mark Wilson book. It really is a great resource for young and old alike.

Think about getting her a DVD rather than a book. I remember how tough books were to learn magic from when I was very young. Oh, and throw a couple of decks of cards in the package too. Two decks, one red, one blue. Bicycle brand is good. Bridge size for tiny hands is nice too.
