AN APPRECIATION
BY [[HERBERT HOLMES]].
Merbak, who in private life is perhaps better known as
J. Albert Briggs, is undoubtedly the outstanding figure in Australian Magic.
For more than twenty years he has been a prolific writer on magical subjects; our leading manufacturer of tricks and
illusions; and a performer whose entertainments are the last word in surprise and novelty.
When I read the MSS. of this volume I did not imagine
there could be so many good things left to divulge, and I am sure readers will agree with me that the title of the book
is well chosen.
I have personally seen Merbak perform many of the
tricks described in this book, and so completely mystifying were they, that the simple explanations are indeed a revelation. In commending the volume to the magical fraternity, I do so in the hope that it will be the forerunner of many
others from his pen. For, Merbak's knowledge of Magic
is so extensive, that it is like a well that never runs dry.
