Modern Sleights by E. Brian MacCarthy.

A companion volume to Slow Sleights.

Preface

As far as I know, all the items of this booklet are original. However, as there’s “nothing new under the sun,” I shall not blame Mr. Ghoschube, of Little-Gimmick, if he says he “saw it done in Poonah in ’08.”

Doubtless Mr. Allfakes, of Trickbox Magna, will condemn the sleights, because he can do them all with the aid of wires, clips, and flesh-coloured paint, “it being so much easier that way.” But is it?

E. B. MacCarthy.
