Original Magical CreationsStanley CollinsFrom the Foreword: Magicians who are seeking that evanescent "something new" which, like the Family Ghost, is very often talked about but seldom seen, will, I venture to prophesy, find "something new" in Original Magical Creations. In penning this volume my aim has been twofold. In the first place, I have set out to describe in detail the methods by which certain experiments originated by myself are performed, and secondly my endeavour has been to teach how to perform them, which is a totally different proposition. To carry out this plan in its entirety, the inclusion of the covering... | $6 to wish list | |

Tricks For EveryoneDavid DevantClever conjuring with common objects. Illustrated with 134 photographs. From the introduction: The following chapters will be found to be practical lessons in conjuring. Many people have the erroneous idea that if they know how a trick is done they are quite capable of presenting it to an audience. I have always found that a very little experience will show such persons that the mere knowledge of the secret of a trick is not of much value to a beginner unless it is accompanied by some simple instructions showing him the best way of using his knowledge. Therefore, I shall not merely give... | $6 to wish list | |

Improved Question ReadingJ. G. Thompson Jr.Mentalists, here's the last word in question reading, using no chemicals, no stooges and no apparatus. Any number of spectators write questions or other data on plain white cards, all of which are sealed by their writers themselves in opaque envelopes. Each spectator is designated by a number and these numbers are written on the envelopes. The performer gathers the questions, which are at no time out of sight of the audience, and begins to divulge the contents!. As soon as each question is answered, it is returned to the writer who acknowledges the card as the one on which he wrote and verifies... | ★★★★★ $6 to wish list | |
Stage IllusionsWill GoldstonFrom the introduction: This is an age in which, in order to succeed, one must specialise. One conjuror will specialise in thought-reading tricks, another in silent illusion acts, another in sleight-of-hand tricks, another in the presentation of what I may call “large apparatus” tricks. This book will appeal primarily to illusionists, but I fancy that other magicians will find that it is well worth perusal. I have heard of illusionists who have produced some of their best effects by merely enlarging small sleight-of-hand tricks, and I have no doubt that some sleight-of-hand performers... | ★★★★★ $6 to wish list | |

A Magician Goes To DinnerEddie JosephFrom the introduction: The tricks described here are for "extempore" showing. They have been specially developed for entertaining fellow diners, within watching distance, around a banquet or dinner table. To perform "extempore" is not the same as giving a show on the stage. In one's regular program everything is premeditated. Performing to a group around the table is different. To begin with, the tricks must be of the type that could be worked without much ado. They must be short and spontaneous. They must be worked in an "off-hand" manner. Finally, not only in character but in appearance... | ★★★★★ $6 to wish list | |

The Brat PackAldo Colombini[A less detailed version of this trick can be found in Direct Hits. Three strong effects with an unexpected climax.
