This is the encyclopedia of cups and balls magic--the book where you find everything on it. The book begins with the simple sleights and moves, and takes you in easy stages through the whole calendar of sleights and subtleties--every art and artifice, old and new, and all the mystery and entertainment of this famous trick. Here you find all the palming, passes, steals, switches, moves, routines, novelty effects, production of baby chicks, original ideas, how to select the cups, etc. Here is also all the detail with lots of sketches to teach you how to make the balls magically fly from cup to cup, multiply, vanish, reappear, transform into other objects, etc. A comprehensive work on the subject. 60 pages, 63 illustrations, special articles included by John Mulholland and Henry Ridgely Evans.
