This book has always been ascribed to Herman Boaz. In reality, quite surely his name was only used to increase the sales of the book. A scarce book, it consisted of "Tricks and Experiments with Cards, Cups and Balls, Conveyance of Money and Rings, Boxes, Fire, Strings and Knots; with many Curious Experiments by Optical Illusion, Chymical Changes, and Magical Cards"
