The Complete Idiot's Guide to Magic Tricks

Tom Ogden's "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Magic Tricks" offers an excellent introduction to magic and a solid foundation to those who want to seriously learn and pursue magic. Like the competing book, Magic for Dummies, Idiot's Guide is loaded with good beginning tricks, comes with clear instructions and illustrations and is written in a light and entertaining style. But when it comes to magic, Idiots clearly rule over Dummies.
