Secrets of the Street ConjurerWilfred Huggins & Frederic Culpitt A collection of conjuring secrets for magicians who entertain when surrounded by spectators. Excerpt from the preface: The compilation of "A Street Conjurer's Secrets" is the outcome of many years of observation in this country, Australia, America, France and Germany. That the effects are well-known is not to be denied, but it is extremely doubtful if many conjurers are aware of the actual method used by the street entertainer.
