Description
Excerpt from Our Magic: The Art in Magic, the Theory of Magic, the Practice of MagicWe do not, for a moment, suggest that what we have written herein represents the last word to be said concerning magic. on the contrary, we are well aware that our book is but the commencement of a new departure which, We hope, may lead to the full elucidation of our subject, in every particular. The ramifications and extensions of knowledge con nected with magic are so vast in their scope that no single treatise can possibly include all' that a skilled magician ought to know. Consequently, we can claim no more than the production of a book which, in our opinion, serves to indicate, rather than to ex haust, the manifold topics associated with the art, science and practice of magic.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
