This is a fascinating compilation of apparatus magic explained in text and photos.
Excerpt from the foreword:
'The World's Most Ingenious Magical Apparatus' was the title of a Lecture which I have presented all over the world including the famous 'Magic Castle' in Hollywood. Many of the items in this book were used in the Lecture but I have added some recently acquired items which have never before seen the light of day.
