Here's a terrific book containing ten tricks, using cards, a magic wand, rope, and other items associated with the magic arts. Most of the effects require no special apparatus. What little is needed can easily be constructed. We think modern performers will really enjoy the card rise, where the action takes place with a borrowed deck! Also of interest will be "Through the Five-Spot," which is an impossible solid-through-solid effect where a five of spades visibly melts through the center of the magician's wand.

We've especially had fun performing the ball bearing mental test, which is a great...

Whistling Spirits: An examined whistle is hung from a wand; the whistle mysteriously blows while hanging from the wand.

The Vanishing Card: From a packet of seven cards, a chosen card disappears leaving six cards. No palming, sleights or false counts or misprinted cards. Totally impromptu but amazing.

Necromantic Numbers: An easy way to reveal a stranger's age and the month in which he was born.

BONUS: Included is also Vick's article on how to succeed...

The Magic Art is a book very much in the style of the Hoffmann books. It describes in particular the tricks invented or used by Mr. Holmes. Tarbell calls this book 'excellent' in the Tarbell Course. Holmes was a prolific author who wrote several other titles as well. In this volume he deals with all kind of props from pill boxes to cards, coins, handkerchiefs, gaffed glasses and the list continues.
