New York: M. Witmark & Sons, 1908. No edition stated. Staple bound with red wrappers. Small format (4.5 x 6.75 inches). 63 pp., plus ads. Portrait of Pallme as frontispiece. Additional portraits of Keller, Imro Fox, and others. Small area of surface loss to upper right of front cover. Slight wear and tear to upper spine. A very good or better copy of this scarce volume.
Not a collection of tricks but rather a complete rundown on the art of being a magician: the different elements of performing, preparations, and much more. Superb!
