THIS VIDEO DEMO IS FROM THE MANUFACTURER:

Great audience participation trick for one spectator- or a small crowd!

The effect: You flip through the coloring book, showing normal coloring book type pages, outlined pictures in black and white, with a magic theme. The next time you flip- all the pictures are brightly colored! The third flip makes all the pages blank! Finally, flip through again and the pages are normal again.

Very, very easy, even for children to perform! For really small hands, please see the Pocket Coloring Book, which is the same trick but in a smaller size.

Best of all, this trick can be repeated immediately- there is nothing to reset or fuss with. No skill required- it's all in the gimmicked book! If you can flip the pages of a book, you can do the trick!

• one Magic Coloring Book
• printed instructions

Very effective if you also use the Drawer Box to make several crayons disappear first, then flip the pages of the book to show that the colors of the crayons have magically transported themselves onto the pages.

You could also use the Color Changing Wand to "transfer" color from the wand to the book, and back again.

Use the Fantastik Wand. Show the book with black-outlined pictures, and wave the multicolored wand over the book. The wand changes to a black magician's wand, and the pages are now colored!

Or you could use the Vanishing Crayons- make the crayons disappear and make the colors appear on the pages of the coloring book.

This is an old trick! The Magic Coloring Book trick was described in Reginald Scot's classic book on magic, written in 1584, the first book to reveal magicians' secrets.
