A series of original sleights with miniature billiard balls including an explanation of the author's ball stand and vanishing apparatus, and a thirty minute manipulative act.
Owing to the remarkable increase in the popularity of experiments with Miniature Billiard Balls, since the publication of “Expert Billiard Ball Manipulation,” and to the frequently expressed wish that I might have something further on this subject to offer Manipulative Artists, I have been induced to delay the publication of the next volume of the series and give preference to a supplementary volume of original ball manipulations.
This publication of my effects which I had intended to reserve strictly for my personal use is evidence of the sincere appreciation I feel toward those whose earnest support has made my former work the most successful publication of its kind. That this volume will not fall short of the ideals of those who induced its preparation, is my sincere hope.
