Hoffmann's modern magic: A practical treatise on the art of conjuring

Time flies! And a great deal of time has passed since Professor Hoffmann wrote "Modern Magic." Yet the fundamental principles of magic and the principles of performance are as valid today as they were at the beginning of the 20th century. Each trick is explained clearly and in detail, with clear, supporting illustrations, and as Professor Hoffmann has said, the books are "designed to give an account of the most up-to-date methods of magic, and to enable the conjurer of the twentieth century to start fully equipped..." "Hoffmann's Modern Magic" begins with card tricks with ordinary cards and specially prepared cards, card tricks involving sleight of hand and those requiring special apparatus, coin tricks with and without apparatus, tricks with watches and rings, with dominoes and dice, and with cups and balls. This book is a must for every professional and amateur performer of magic.
