"Conjuring is an art that has been known for many ages", writes Henri Garenne, who wrote this work "to act as a guide for amateurs and young beginners". Beginning with the basics of palming objects and explaining props, and progressing through over 200 tricks, this book is a treasure-trove for the new magician or the armchair prestidigitator.Over 100 lessons involve cards, coins, rings, watches, balls, handkerchiefs, and hats, teaching many tricks like passing a ring through a table, making cards change from black to red, and the perennial favorite, pulling rabbits from a hat. Further tricks involve changing a bowl of ink into a bowl of water, producing eggs from a person's mouth, and cutting a piece off a person's nose!
