This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1921 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER VI CARD TRICKS BASED ON A NEW AND ORIGINAL SYSTEM OF LOCATING A CHOSEN CARD. In this chapter we shall describe a series of sleights by which a chosen card may be located in the pack, without the use of the shift, or without resorting to any of the multifarious and conventional devices employed by magicians to obtain knowledge of a card that has been sighted or selected by a spectator. This new and original system of subterfuge is the invention of T. Nelson Downs, who has built upon the basic idea a superstructure of subtle and bewildering illusions with cards that will appeal particularly to the devotee of sleight of hand. These tricks are susceptible to development and variation, and in the hands of an adroit performer and clever talker will furnish adequate material for a thirty-minute act. The experiments form an ideal card combination for club work, or for an impromptu performance in the home, hotel or newspaper office, in that no preparation is required and any cards may be used. The performer, however, will soon discover that the best results are obtained by the use of a new, or comparatively new, pack of cards. Equipped with such a pack, and with a small table or stand of any kind, the student, assuming that he possesses the requisite skill, will be able not only to mystify the uninitiated, but also to baffle those who may have a knowledge of sleight of hand. So much for the intrinsic merits of this new system of deception. It is more to the purpose to present a brief description of the effects obtained by the various subterfuges. The performer removes a pack of new cards from its case and wrapper, and offers the same to a spectator for shuffling. This preliminary duty performed, the conjurer, holding the pack downward in...

In this personal journey through a unique performing art, David Copperfield profiles some of the world's most groundbreaking magicians. From the sixteenth-century magistrate who wrote an early book on conjuring, to the roaring twenties and the man who fooled Houdini, to the woman who levitated, vanished, and caught bullets in her bare hands, David Copperfield's History of Magic takes you on a wild journey through the remarkable feats of some of the greatest magicians in history. The result is a sweeping tale that reveals how these astonishing performers were outsiders who used magic to escape class, challenge conventions, transform popular culture, explore the innermost workings of the human mind, and inspire scientific discovery. Their incredible stories are complemented by more than 100 never-before-seen photographs of artifacts from Copperfield's exclusive Museum of Magic, including a sixteenth-century manual on sleight-of-hand; Houdini's straitjackets, handcuffs, and water torture chamber; Dante's famous sawing-in-half apparatus; Alexander's high-tech turban that allowed him to read people's minds; and even some coins that may have magically passed through the hands of Abraham Lincoln. By the end of the book, you'll be sure to share Copperfield's passion for the power of magic. --
