Part 4

A practical treatise on how to perform modern tricks, by Prof. Hermann. Great care has been exercised by the author to include in this book only such tricks as have never before appeared in print. This assures the performer a secret and almost endless fund for suitable material to be used on all occasions. With little practice, almost any one can perform the more simple tricks, and with practice, as he becomes more adept, he can perform the most difficult ones. No book published contains a greater variety of material for conjurors and sleight-of-hand performers than this book. Coins, cards, silk hat, handkerchiefs, balls, are all introduced in the many programs offered, thus affording one an endless variety from which to select for parlor or stage entertainments. Price =30 Cents=, by mail, postpaid.
