Title
Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
Description
Modern Magic is a landmark in magic books. Published in successive editions, it was the first in a tetralogy of books - More Magic (1890), Later Magic (1903) and Latest Magic (1918) - that for the first time attempted to create an encyclopaedic and instructional book of performance magic. It became a textbook for aspiring magicians and a record of the contemporary practice of magic.
