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 | |
Deceptive Conceptions in MagicStanley CollinsFrom the Foreword: Written entirely during my service in the Army and the major part of it whilst under shellfire at Ypres and on the Somme, this book was ready for the press save the sketches, early in 1919. Anticipating almost immediate demobilisation, I determined to post to my home the manuscript that had been such a labour of love to me, with some small magical apparatus that had accompanied me during the campaign. I am still awaiting the arrival of that parcel. Considerably lightened by the possession of an exceptional memory, my task of re-writing is now finished and I confidently... | $5 to wish list | |
