Modern Card Manipulation 

First published in 1915, this volume contains a fantastic guide to mastering a variety of card tricks. With over 100 illustrations, “Modern Card Manipulations” will appeal to those with an interest in learning card tricks and is it not to be missed by the budding magician. Contents include: “Fun on the Billiard Table”, “Simple Conjuring Tricks”, “Hand Shadows”, “Indoor Games for Children and Young People”, “Simple Conjuring Tricks that Anybody can Perform”, “Pearson’s Book of Fun, Mirth, and Mystery”, “Plays and Displays for Boy Scouts”, “Practice Strokes at Billiards”, “The Drawing-room Entertainer”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.
