Template:BookInfo with Adrian Plate. Two well known magicians of their time

A book for amateur and professional magicians explaining 140 tricks performed with cards, coins, balls, eggs, handkerchiefs, and other common household items with 194 black-and-white illustrations. It features tricks from Germain, Conradi, Goldston and Okito.

The authors drew the wrath of many fellow magicians for exposure by permitting sections to be reprinted in a magazine for boys, "St. Nicholas".

This book became a classic and was called the 'first American general textbook' of magic by Henry Hay and rated one of the ten basic books by the historian H. Adrian Smith.
