Since the days of Ancient Egypt conjurers and wizards have guarded their secrets zealously, even from fellow magicians. Those secrets are revealed in this modern version of a nineteenth-century classic that explains in detail all the great stage illusions. Many of the feats are accompanied by two illustrations: what the audiences sees, and what is really happening. A comprehensive book on the history and use of magic. Discusses illusions such as the Magic 8-Ball, the prestidigitation of mentalism, and the use of magic for entertainment.
