When you catch the subtle word play in the title of the book you realize that much of the material requires a little construction and handiwork is required to bring the routines into being. That's why the writing and illustrations are so important. I am not much of a "do it yourself" guy, but Lewis guides you with a quiet expertise.

Mr. Lewis intersperses the effects with ripping yarns from his life in magic. The illustrations are fetching and nicely complement the text. Cowburn, Ashley (31 October 2015).
