About this book

Palming comes first among the chapters of this conjuring manual by Edwin Sachs, here in the enlarged second edition of 1885. Part I, Drawing-room Magic, goes on to coins, common objects, cups and balls, handkerchiefs, Chinese tricks and cards; Part II, Grand or Stage Magic, covers dress and table, sleights, the cornucopian hat, watches and live stock, and sham mesmerism. The introduction notes that conjuring goes back at least to Chaucer, who mentions a juggler named Coll Tregetour.
