What's cooking? How about some great magic created by a collection of the world's best known card magicians? Jack Parker has called upon some of his favorite magicians to prepare some excellent card tricks and Andi Gladwin has elegantly served up each one in this fantastic hard backed book. There's something to tantalise every taste bud in this wide ranging menu, from exquisite starters to really meaty tricks to sink your teeth into.

The Magician's Ltd Cookbook allows you to take a peak into the repertoires of some of the world's best card magicians. Stars such as David Acer, Allan Ackerman, Steve Draun, Dave Solomon have all contributed fantastic tricks that range from incredibly easy to knuckle busting sleight of hand - you'll definitely find plenty of great material for your repertoire.

The story behind this book is inspiring. In 1989 Jack Parker was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia. After a year of treatment he was achieved a full remission from the illness and decided that he'd like to give back to give back to The Anthony Nolan Bone Marrow Trust; a charity that helped him when he was most in need. He collected magic from 23 of the world's top card magicians and along with Andi Gladwin started to compile a book of that fantastic magic.

Given how much they helped Jack, proceeds from this book will be donated to The Anthony Nolan Bone Marrow Trust to help assist their ongoing Leukaemia research and everyone involved in the Magician's Ltd Cookbook has given their time generously and for free.

If you take a glance at the backcover of the book, you see the number of excellent card magicians contributed some of their material. That glance alone is worth to get the book. Contributions are made by David Acer, Allan Ackerman, Paul Cummins, Joshua Jay, Jon Racherbaumer, and many more. Jack Parker is presenting us a collection of card tricks written by Andi Gladwin.

What I really like was the concept of pouring a magic book into a cooking theme. And I really thought that the “4 sleights or less” concept was quite interesting. “Creators were asked to limit themselves to four or less ingredients”. That way the routines are not technical demanding and can be performed with some practice. My favorite efect was Cooking with Conn & Daley by Doug Conn. Basically, it’s the classic Daley trick with a kicker.
Also, the writing is very entertaining and credit is properly given. Furthermore, “proceeds from the book will be donated to The Anthony Nolan Bone Marrow Trust to help assist there ongoing leukaemia research.” So if you buy this book (which you should), not only do you do yourself a good favor but you also contribute to a good cause.
To conclude, you will learn many good sleights and card tricks with The Magician’s LTD Cookbook for a good price.
