"If ever there were a more classic tome for beginners of general sleight
of hand, I am not sure what it is. This book has been around for 131

Let's say you are at a dinner
party and are invited to perform a trick. You have no apparatus on you,

hundreds of astonishing tricks: drawing-room tricks with coins, common

The Magic Omelette, The Great Dictionary Trick, and more.
