This is an early pocket guide to conjuring written by the society conjurer Frank Desmond and published in 1897. Part of the Saxon's Everybody Series, it describes how to perform a wide range of magic tricks with early illustrations, many of which have been reproduced from Hamley's blocks. A charming and uncommon little book.
