Best book I've read about the core technology of how to entertain children. I've never entertained them and what I learned,turned me around and i followed his instructions and got my first gig. I and the children (aged 9)had the best fun ever.

The book is not about doing tricks. It's about the magician's role and what is expected of him, or her.If you ever wanted to entertain children or do it now, this book is a must reading!
