More Conjuring

by Hercat

This book of tricks is almost one hundred years old, and is thoroughly enjoyable. The tricks come with complete instruction as well as diagrams for many of them. Here is a bit of the preface from the This book contains simple tricks only. No apparatus is required and but little sleight-of-hand is needed in the performance of any of them. They consist of a series of tricks and problems, easily acquired, suitable for gatherings round the table on winter evenings. Some of them are new and many are old; but even the oldest are new to the rising generation. Six of the latest tricks include A Hindoo Swindle, The Elusive Match, A Subtle Impromptu Effect with a Coin, A novel Card Effect, An Artful Card Forde and Another Easy Card Force. I have included no tricks which require the exercise of much sleight-of-hand; but even the most simple trick should be thoroughly practised before you present it to your friends, especially those tricks which require the assistance of a confederate. Rehearse everything with him thoroughly beforehand. Even your "patter" should be rehearsed. But endeavor to lead your audience to believe that it is all impromptu.
