Synopsis :

Unlock practical tricks and portable props in this classic magic guide. This edition gathers a range of simple, innovative devices you can carry to performances or practice sessions, each described with clear steps and dependable methods. Ideal for hobbyists and professional magicians alike, it emphasizes practical utility and innocent appearances to delight audiences.

The book introduces two main lines of appliances and effects, exploring how everyday-looking objects can hide secret functions. From adaptable mats to clever flower-pot props, the text explains setup, handling, and presentation in approachable terms, with example patter to help you connect with spectators.

• Two main prop families: the Card Mat and the Coin Mat, each with a hidden space and practical uses.


• Portable, in-sight tricks like the Fairy Flower-Pots, which provide vanish and production opportunities.


• Mechanics and safety details for preparing and executing tricks smoothly.


• Hints on performance patter and how to present concepts with confidence.

Ideal for readers of instructional magic books who want reliable, easy-to-implement ideas for on-stage or casual demonstrations. The edition focuses on revealing how clever design can create striking effects with minimal fuss, while preserving the audience’s sense of wonder.

Présentation de l'éditeur: The tricks described in the following pages are of my own invention, and for the most part are entirely new departures: not only the effects produced, but the appliances by means of which they are produced, being original.

From the nature of the case, it follows that few of the items described have been submitted to the supreme test of performance in public, but all have been thoroughly thought out; most of the root-ideas having in fact been simmering in my mind for more than two years past. One or two of them may demand a more than average amount of address on the part of the performer; but the majority are comparatively easy, and I believe I may assert with confidence that all will be found both practicable and effective. Should any of my modest inventions be found, as is not improbable, susceptible of further polish, the keen wits and ready fingers of my brother wizards may safely be trusted to supply it.
