Description

From the introduction:

For this reason I have endeavoured only to include effects of a practical nature, and ideas in which simplicity is the keynote. Anything in the nature of “conjuring for conjurers” has been rigorously excluded, and wherever an idea is made use of that is not my own, full credit has been given to the originator.
