Card Tricks - A Practical Treatise on Conjuring with Cards by Ellis Stanyon Pdf

From the PREFACE. TRICKS with cards are ever popular, and are within the reach of every one who cares to devote a little time to the study of sleight of hand. Who has not watched in speechless wonderment, and longed to emulate the nimble-fingered professor IS he takes the cards in his hand and causes them to pass thence, invisibly, along his sleeve and finally alight on his white shirt front; or as he throws a card some twenty feet in the air, at an angle of 45 degrees, and causes it to return to his hand, which, during the flight of the card, has seized a pair of scissors with which the card is now severed in twain? Much that is new appertaining to conjuring with cards has appeared of late years, which, together with a number of simple tricks of sufficient interest to keep the neophyte engrossed in the early stages of his career, it will be the province of the author in the following pages to reveal.

Modern Magic by Hoffman Pdf

Modern Magic has won its place in the history of conjuring as the very first English-language work to explain how to perform magic, rather than just exposing its secrets. This work contains more than 220 tricks and effects, many of which are still used today. All contain principles that, with slight adaption, formed the basis of numerous more modern effects, and which, with a touch of imagination, can be utilized to create new and dramatic effects. The range of tricks covered in this book remains massive: from lessons on basic sleight-of-hand to advanced card tricks, tricks with apparatus and without, hat productions, balls, full linking rings and cups and balls routines, watches, dominoes, dice, and much more, before ending with some of the most advanced mechanical stage effects of the author's day. Along the way, the author provides detailed step-by-step instructions, backed by complete "patter" suggestions which may be used as is, or adapted to taste. This new edition has been completely reset, hand-edited, and contains all original 318 illustrations, digitally remastered to modern standards. Also includes a new index of tricks. Contents Chapter I: Introduction Chapter II: General Principles of Sleight-of-Hand applicable to Card Tricks Chapter III: Card Tricks with Ordinary Cards, and not requiring Sleight-of-Hand Chapter IV: Tricks involving Sleight-of-Hand or the Use of Specially Prepared Cards Chapter V: Card Tricks Requiring Special Apparatus Chapter VI: Principles of Sleight-of-hand more especially applicable to Coin Tricks Chapter VII: Tricks with Coins without Apparatus Chapter VIII: Tricks with Coin requiring Special Apparatus Chapter IX: Tricks with Watches Chapter X: Tricks with Rings Chapter XI: Tricks with Handkerchiefs Chapter XII: Tricks with Dominoes and Dice Chapter XIII: The Cups and Balls Chapter XIV: Ball Tricks Requiring Special Apparatus Chapter XV: Hat Tricks Chapter XVI: Miscellaneous Tricks Chapter XVII: Stage Tricks Chapter XVIII: Concluding Observations Index of Tricks

Conjuring for Amateurs by Ellis Stanyon Pdf

Excerpt from Conjuring for Amateurs: A Practical Treatise on How to Perform Modern Tricks There are one or two leading principles to be borne in mind by any one taking up the study of magic. The first and foremost is, Never tell the audience what you are going to do before you do it. If you do, the chances of detection are in creased tenfold, as the spectators, knowing what to expect, will the more readily arrive at the true method of bringing about the result. It follows as a natural consequence that you must never perform the same trick twice in the same evening. It is very unpleasant to have to refuse an encore; and should you be called upon to repeat a trick study to vary it as much as pos sible, and to bring it to a different conclusion.

Conjuring for Amateurs by Ellis Stanyon Pdf

Excerpt from Conjuring for Amateurs: A Practical Treatise on How to Perform Modern Tricks In submitting the following collection of conjuring tricks to my brother magicians and the public generally, I entertain the earnest hope that they will derive as much pleasure from the study and practice of the same as I have myself. It is always a great delight for me either to witness or to practise a trick, and it is a grand mental as well as manual exercise. I contend that, if practised only as a hobby, conjuring is a wholesome and a moral one; and if studied diligently with a determination to succeed, it cannot fail to sharpen the wits of the person practising it. In compiling this work it has been my aim to describe such tricks as, so far as I have been able to learn, have not hitherto been published, thus providing for my confrères and the public alike an interesting volume of present-day magic, and I trust that it may be the means of enabling the reader to astonish and amuse his friends, and the public, with the fascinating art of Legerdemain.
