Excerpt from the introduction:
Some of the tricks herein are old tricks, but with neat twists in presentation; some are old principles in new dresses; while others are quite new tricks with new principles. We commend to the reader, however, the introduction by Max Sterling and the article by The Great Levante, which should be carefully studied before any one trick is attempted.
