Excerpt from the preface:
It is not intended that this volume should pretend to the nature of a manual of Magic, but that it be a compilation of new effects, most of which have been introduced within the last few months. All the problems included have been performed by the Author, and have invariably proved successful. The best and simplest method has in each case been described.
