The Wizard's Handbook

I bought this from a scholastic order when I was young, middle school age, and i'm telling you, it's not just a harmless book for the harry potter crowd, its a real book that teaches real magic. If you're into that stuff, its nice and fun, simple stuff, but if you're against real magic use, then uhh..just telling you, this is it.

I have to critique on this book being that I am a proud owner of a copy myself... I thought it was very good and it was not too long like those other wizardry books that take you days to get through and you still don't remember all the stuff in it... and it's good for the selected age group.

This book is a good one, and actually has some semi-serious spells to try, and information about creating a magic circle. However, if you're looking for a serious book on magic for kids, this isn't it! It's fun, funny, has a few neat "wizard's illusion" type tricks, tips on writing spells (including a goofy rhyming word glossary), a silly quiz to take, and a wizard identification card in the back. My 12 year old son thought this book was great, and I guess that's the true test. The rhymes used in the "spells" will have you cracking up!

This book is great for brlievers in magic of all ages. It comes with five easy spells and guides to help tune your magic. An awesome book for anyone who thinks they may have some magic in them or even if they just truly believe in magic. I've yet to try out spells myself but am anxious to do so.
