About This Book

The manual teaches practical legerdemain through step-by-step descriptions of card feats, cups-and-balls routines, and methods for conveying coins, rings, and small objects, alongside effects using boxes, fire, strings, optical illusion, and chemical changes. It opens with guidance on the operator's bearing and basic sleights such as shuffling and the pass, then gives numbered, procedural instructions for individual tricks, including forcing, concealment, and transformations. Performance advice on patter and gesture accompanies the directions, and illustrative woodcuts clarify apparatus and hand positions for beginners and experienced performers alike.
