| − | '''Some Modern Conjuring: A Series of Original Experiments in the Magic Art''' by [[Donald Holmes]].
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == Introduction ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | THE value of suggestion is nowhere so clearly demonstrated as in the
| + | |
| − | Magic Art, and have yet to see the book devoted to this subject
| + | |
| − | that has not imparted at least a few good ideas well worth retaining. I
| + | |
| − | therefore present this little series of original experiments to the lovers of
| + | |
| − | Magic,not so much for its value as a collection of up-to-date tricks, separate
| + | |
| − | and distinct from each other, but rather as series of useful hints and ideas,
| + | |
| − | from which I trust both the amateur and professional may derive much food
| + | |
| − | for thought.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | I have not considered it necessary, in a book of this size, to devote
| + | |
| − | any space to the definition of terms and phrases commonly used in conjuring
| + | |
| − | circles, for the tricks herein described would be of little practical use to one
| + | |
| − | unfamiliar with the rudiments of Magic, or current literature on the subject,
| + | |
| − | while to the advanced conjurer such information would only be superfluous.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | In the near future I hope to publish a larger book devoted exclusively
| + | |
| − | to the beginner--a sort of A B C of Magic, I might say, brought right
| + | |
| − | up to date, in which I shall endeavor to confer upon the neophyte the
| + | |
| − | mysteries of modern Magic in a clear, concise manner, and lead him step by
| + | |
| − | step to the higher class of conjuring.
| + | |
