Advanced Magic

From the INTRODUCTION. In writing this book it is not my intention to treat conjuring in all its technical details; hut merely record some of the results of my life study of the fascinating ort of Magic; and which 1 hope will prove if not instructive at least interesting to the many who either dabble in Magic for a likelihood or pastime. When I wrote Tricky-Tricks I confidently intended it should be my last book. But Circumstances Alter Cases. The great success of my two books: The Magicians New Field and Tricky-Tricks was a very gratifying surprise to me as the sales of these books ran far beyond my fondest expectations. Of course it is encouraging to know that your work is appreciated but my time was pre-occupied with my finessing Institute. Besides my aspirations were soaring within the lofty realm of a New-More Perfect and more wonderful type of Magic than the world has ever known before!...
