Magic skills
Stephanie Turnbull
- Reading
- Browse the materials and instructions before starting. Choose one trick, practise its sequence patiently, then invite the child to explain how they prepared and what they would change.
- Themes
- Learning and presenting a practical skill: The book presents magic as a set of skills involving simple tricks, training, preparation, practice and performance. It appears to teach a practical activity through instructions rather than explore magic as a fictional or supernatural claim.
- Worth knowing
- Some activities may involve household props or materials, but the specific items and instructions are unclear. Look through each trick first and check that its materials and method fit your family.
