Front cover of Amazing Magic Trick Answers for Kids by J. Steven Warburton, a magic trick book for kids ages 6 to 12

Kids ask “How did they do that?” all day.

You want to give a real answer, not a shrug. But long explanations lose a child fast, and a quick search can send a young reader somewhere you did not intend. This magic trick book for kids was written for exactly that moment.

The questions never stop

Is magic real? How does the elephant vanish? Can they read minds? Kids want answers now.

Long answers lose them

A page of dense text ends the conversation. Kids need the answer in a few lines and a picture.

Forgettable gifts

Another toy ends up in a drawer. You want a gift they open again and again.

What if every one of those questions had its own page, with three quick answers and pictures?
