Excerpt from the introduction:
There is no difficulty in the working of any trick. Dan always aims for the simplest method of producing an effect, believing that the entertainment value of a trick is its major attraction. Indeed, every trick that follows can be worked by anyone, and though some are extremely simple, I advocate that you give them all the test of a trial before passing judgment. You will then find you have ample and spacious pastures.
