The best magic tricks for kids

Susanne Rennert

As a child, I was fascinated whenever I saw a magician. I was amazed at how he could make all those colorful cloths appear and disappear - not to mention all of the other stupefying tricks he did!

I couldn't get over my great desire to learn to do such wondrous feats myself. That's why I got my first "magic box" when I was 9 years old. When I got older, I had my first experiences appearing as a magician in theaters, then went on tours with another theater group. I learned more and more magic tricks along the way, and practiced them diligently.

After my studies in social pedagogy, I was self-employed for 10 years, and gave courses in both handicrafts as well as magic. Of course, I continued to put on magic shows for both children and adults.

It was so much fun that I decided to share my knowledge through books. Drawing on my extensive experience in a number of specialties, I wrote and published books for readers of all ages. My favorite areas are crafting with paper, soap bubbles, magic, and balloons.

That's how this "magic book" was birthed. It contains everything I have taught in my magic courses, so that before you know it, you too will be able to astound and mystify your audiences when you give your very own magic performances!
