About this book

Conjuring is taught step by step in this practical manual of 318 illustrations by Professor Hoffmann, the pen name of the English writer Angelo Lewis. It begins with the magician's wand, table and dress, then moves to the sleight of hand behind card work, including making the pass, forcing a card, the false shuffle and palming. Later chapters give card tricks that need no sleight of hand and tricks using prepared cards, and an appendix explains some specialties of Maskelyne and Cooke. This is the American edition issued in New York; the work first appeared in London in 1876.
