Preface by S.H. Sharpe - What more appropriate time to publish a new edition of More Magic, which first appeared in 1889, than the occasion of its hundredth anniversary? As you first turn the pages of this book, you will be led into some of magic's most secret places by Professor Hoffmann. You will be enlightened about such wonders as The Multiplying Balls; The Shower of Spring Flowers; the Two Decanters and The Flying Handkerchief; The Bautier Pull; and the Vanishing Lady. You will be led into the uncanny world of Charlier, and initiated into the secrets of that strange characters card system. Verbeck is represented with a detailed explanation of The Wedding Ring, Programme, and Envelope. You will also find Robert Houdins Horn of Plenty; The Cannon Ball Globe; and his brilliant Show of Goldwill. Modern Magic, More Magic and Later Magic remain the bedrock of conjuring despite the passing years. Martin Breese has done a fine job in producing this hardbound edition. 457 pages; laminated two-color dustjacket.
