Slow Sleights by E. Brian MacCarthy.

Novel moves with billiard balls, thimbles, cards, coins, etc.

Introduction

The moves and sleights here submitted have not, as far as I know, appeared before in any book of magic. All the moves, unless otherwise stated, are intended to be performed slowly. In this way only can the maximum of deception be attained. Regarding billiard balls, the writer uses the two inch size, and can guarantee that the moves are all right for the angle of view. As usual, it is as well to practise in front of a mirror.

E . Brian MacCarthy.
