Would you believe that you could ask a full-grown man to hold a penny for you and then tell him to drop it and finds he can’t, hard as he may try? In what is undoubtedly the most original magic book of our time, John Fisher shows the reader how, with minimal practice, he can use the marvels of the human body to entertain and mystify friends and family, small and large audiences. This book is first of all a delight to read because of the instant education it provides us with about the unknown powers we have in our hands, our eyes, our noses, and our incredible nervous system. In each case, Mr. Fisher shows the easy-to-grasp principle first and then how to put the principle to work in actual tricks. Most magic books require a great deal of study and dexterity. This one enables you to entertain people even before you have finished the book. Moreover, you never have to worry about being prepared, because you always have with you all the miraculous things you need—your hands, your eyes, and the rest of your body. Review: A Great Book - This book is chock-full of amazing stunts involving the human body. Learn how to fake super-human strength, defy gravity, exercise 'hypnotic' control over others, and much more. Most of these fascinating demonstrations are as old as the hills, but big-name performers are still amazing audiences with them on TV and in live shows. John Fisher fully explains what to do and the principles that make these stunts work. Highly recommended! Review: Body. Agi - Nice book of magic that is always with you.

An Interesting Read
Reasonably well written, but does not contain much of any practical use.

Great Book
The book is great, but must have more images. I am not a native speaker and didn't understand some of the concepts...

but it could disappoint those who are looking for simple answers rather than ...
This book has a lot to offer, maybe not in terms of tricks, but in terms of developing your act & in terms of developing your understanding of how & why. This is must have book to go along side your copy of Corinda's 13 steps. This book truly deserves 5 stars, but it could disappoint those who are looking for simple answers rather than seeking to understand. Often the deepest mentalist knowledge is subtle.

Body Magic
A classic in its genre. Not only many exercises to perform (you won't like or use them all) but a good description given on each chapter. Recommended
