Description

Cards, coins, rings, and even the human predilection for wonder may all be
expertly manipulated with the help of this expert guide to favorite tricks
and illusions of the magician's art. Professor Henri Garenne, the urbane
author of this manual on conjuring, intended it as a "guide for amateurs
and young beginners." Starting with the basics of palming objects and using
props, and progressing through more than 200 tricks, this distinctive
volume is a rich resource for the new magician or the armchair
prestidigitator. The lessons involve cards, coins, rings, balls, and
handkerchiefs. They explain mesmerizing tricks like The Flying Glass of
Water and To Produce Eggs from a Person's Mouth. Even more astounding are
The Indian Basket trick, The Living Head in a Bottle, and-for a truly
stupendous effect-A Lady Suspended in the Air Without Any Visible Support!
And those looking for instruction in ventriloquism and thought reading will
not be disappointed. The secrets are here. Elegant vintage engravings
demonstrate the tricks and add to the charm of Professor Garenne's
delightful treatise.
