In Modern Card Tricks Without Apparatus (1915), Will Goldston published part of the introduction and the first five effects in modified form. The book was then published serially through The Sphinx starting with the March, 1922 issue. This however, was a literal translation which most found it difficult to follow and the illustrations were omitted.
It was again translated in 1931 as Hofzinser's Card Conjuring by S.H. Sharpe.
