21 Flash 4 projects. Professional. Inspirational. Fully customizable. And brought to you by a team of 7 developers and designers who are among today's best Flash designers.

Each New Riders Magic book has been created with you, the computer graphics professional, in mind. Complete effects, adaptable solutions, time-saving techniques, and practical applications.

So whether you design chops, looking for a new way of doing an effect, or simply seeking creative advice, crack open a Magic book and get started...
