Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is always a matter for self-congratulation on the part of an author to be called upon to furnish a Preface to a second or subsequent edition of some "bantling of his brain." In the present instance the task is more satisfactory than usual, the author not coming before the reader empty-handed. Since the publication of the first edition, conjurors have not been idle, and numerous new methods for producing magical surprises have been invented. Such of these as are suitable or worthy—for, in their haste to be novel, many have failed to be satisfactory—the author has incorporated; and, by a thorough revision of the work, he has placed before the aspiring conjuror, written up to date, all that it is possible for him to know in the region of Sleight of Hand.

The experiments form an ideal card combination for club work, or for an impromptu performance in the home, hotel or newspaper office, in that no preparation is required and any cards may be used. The performer, however, will soon discover that the best results are obtained by the use of a new, or comparatively new, pack of cards. Equipped with such a pack, and with a small table or stand of any kind, the student, assuming that he possesses the requisite skill, will be able not only to mystify the uninitiated, but also to baffle those who may have a knowledge of sleight of hand. So much for the intrinsic merits of this new system of deception. It is more to the purpose to present a brief description of the effects obtained by the various subterfuges. The performer removes a pack of new cards from its case and wrapper, and offers the same to a spectator for shuffling. This preliminary duty performed, the conjurer, holding the pack downward in...
