Handkerchief Magic by Will Blyth

How to entertain and amuse children or adult audiences with a pocket handkerchief.

From the introduction by Clive Maskelyne:

A feature of the book is, that the descriptions, aided by well-drawn diagrams, are so simple and lucid that no one should find any difficulty in entertaining and amusing at festive gatherings. Handkerchief tricks are always popular, and the selection given in Handkerchief Magic is not only ingenious and amusing, but, where an old principle or an old piece of apparatus has been employed as the foundation of an effect, the author has given it such new surroundings that "old lamps" indeed "become new."
