Mark Wilson's Complete Course in Magic has been dazzling readers and aspiring magicians for fifty years. It is the most comprehensive guide to planning and performing magic tricks. Mark Wilson was one of the world's premier practitioners of classic magic, with years of experience instructing beginners in the magical arts. Acclaimed by the Los Angeles Times as "the text that young magicians swear by," it's full of step-by-step instructions and more than 2,000 informative photos and illustrations. From basic card tricks to advanced levitation, this book covers all a new magician could want to know. This anniversary edition includes new, never-before-published photographs of Mark Wilson and his magic team, as well as endearing forewords by Greg Wilson (Mark's son) and Teller. With dozens of stunning tricks clearly and thoughtfully explained, you’ll soon become a master with the power to dazzle and stun any audience of your own magic show. Review: The Perfect Book For Learning How To Be A Professional Magician - Magic makes for an interesting and rewarding career. It also makes for a great hobby. Do you sincerely want to learn Magic? Then this is the book for you because it is a complete course in Magic, covering all of the classic forms and effects, and is also full of sage wisdom on how to become a first-rate, professional magician. The author, Mark Wilson, began his remarkable career as a teenager and, along with his wife Nani Darnell, became one of the greatest magicians to have ever performed. Perhaps the Wilson's single greatest contribution to the art was convincing television networks (in the 1950s!) that Magic could be televised and enjoyed at home. Ever see Copperfield, Blaine, or Penn and Teller perform on television? Then be certain to thank Mark and Nani. In fact, Mark still teaches aspiring professionals, in person, at the Magic Castle in Hollywood. You couldn't ask for a better teacher. This book is well written, with easy to understand drawings and photographs. Early parts of most chapters cover easy to master or 'self-working' tricks to get you started and the latter parts of each chapter present more complex effects. There are even plans for full scale stage effects and sections related to presentation and professionalism to round out the course. Want testimonials from experts? There are literally dozens of highly respected, professional magicians who credit this book with inspiring and jump-starting their careers. Now you, too, can join them.

I had gotten some of the basic magic kits and wanted to learn more about how to do more impressive illusions (tricks.) This book is THE bible on learning about magic. There are card tricks, rope tricks, coin tricks, silk tricks, silk and coin tricks and even how to build some of your own stage illusions. It shows you not only how to do various tricks but how to handle various items and it teaches you various principles of magic. It breaks down everything into effect (what it will look like,) secret (what makes it work) and presentation (a step-by-step guide on how to do it with illustrations.) When I started performing as a kid at backyard carnivals and talent shows, most of my routine came from this book. 35 years later it still has many of my better illusions. My first book is gone ("borrowed" by someone who didn't return it) and I have bought several different copies, some given as gifts to new magic students. You want a book to learn about magic, this is the first book you will want to buy. ## Frequently Bought Together - Mark Wilson's Complete Course in Magic - Modern Coin Magic: 116 Coin Sleights and 236 Coin Tricks - Now You See It, Now You Don't!: Lessons in Sleight of Hand --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/1390574-mark-wilsons-complete-course-in-magic-50th-anniversary-edition](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/1390574-mark-wilsons-complete-course-in-magic-50th-anniversary-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-05-24*
