The Art of Jugling or Legerdemaine (the introduction is signed as "Sa. Rid.") was a pamphlet published in 1612 published by Samuel Rand.
No one knows who wrote it. "Rid" may simply be a misprint of "Rnd" (the publisher)
It contains magic with cards, coins, balls, knives, and other objects. It even includes a packet trick with specially designed cards. Many of the effects are taken directly from Reginald Scot’s The Discoverie of Witchcraft with two notable exceptions; a three-ball routine and an early use of specially printed cards in an Kings-to-Aces-to-blanks effect.
There are only four known copies of the first edition in the world.
