With 50 rude, sick, and mind-blowing stunts, any practical joker or novice magician will be armed with an arsenal of fresh, fun, and easy pranks to play on friends and loved ones. Each trick is fully outlined with thorough directions and colorful, step-by-step photographs and needs minimal preparation—no top hats, capes, or trap doors are required. Jokers will be able to resurrect dead flies, snuff out lit cigarettes on their tongues, swallow table knives, bend spoons with their noses, cut off their thumbs with scissors, and make messages appear on their skin, all to the wonder and amusement of onlookers. Simple yet impressive card tricks are also included for the "prestidigitally challenged."

Pete Firman is a noted magician and comedian. He has starred on the British television magic shows Dirty Tricks, Monkey Magic, and The Secret World of Magic.
