This work explores the history, meaning, and uses of playing cards.
From the foreword:
If an apology is needed for writing again on the subject of playing cards, the excuse may be offered that new lights have been turned on the subject, so that there is fresh information to lay before the public, derived from a close and exhaustive study of the European libraries and museums, as well as of the pictures on the Playing Cards themselves or prints found in those repositories, and also in the collection owned by the writer; for these speak their histories to those who regard their symbols with...
Growing tired of long, arduous Poker Deals that magicians love and audiences can loathe? All too often when a spectator remarks: "I wouldn't like to play cards with you!" the performer unleashes a twenty-minute Poker demonstration, often laced with countless sleights and bloated yarn about a shady Mexican gambler. The entertainment quotient is immediately stifled; it is all just 'too much.'
Looking to jettison these overbearing routines? Author Ian Baxter has put together some practical alternatives - three highly entertaining, well-paced Poker Deals in one exceptional manuscript. Easy, delightful...

It starts with a short biography of Harry Houdini and then has a series of simple magic tricks and party stunts. Each one is described with an illustration and a few words of explanation.

Aus dem Vorwort:
Mit diesem Werk möchte ich Ihnen einen Überblick über das Lebenswerk von Tony Lackner geben. Tony war bestimmt der bedeutendste Trickgerätehersteller und Erfinder der letzten Jahrzehnte. Auch zahllose Verbesserungen von Zaubergeräten sind auf seinen Ideenreichtum zurückzuführen. Ich kann Ihnen natürlich in erster Linie nur die Tricks aufführen, die er für die Zauberbutike gefertigt hat. Aber die sind zahlreich genug. Fast zu allen diesen Kunststücken erhalten Sie ein Farbfoto und die Beschreibung, die von mir dazu geliefert wurde.
