Introduction E F E E L sure, in presenting this catalogue to the magical fraternity, that we have produced something a little different in the way of magical catalogue and apparatus. Magicians all over the world are fast finding the superiority of magical apparatus, beautifully made out of fine woods. There is no doubt that such apparatus is by far more beautiful and attractive than the metal goods, while it lacks the suspicious appearance, the tendency to "talk" and possesses the added advantage of being less expensive. Remember. Everything is made of wood and the best wood that can be obtained. Not only have we listed the standard articles needed by the magicians, but we have produced a number of new and original effects. We are manufacturing magicians and possess a thorough knowledge of magic and kindred subjects from every standpoint. Heretofore magicians have been at a loss to know where to go to have their original ideas worked out for them. We have made and are making special effects from the original drawings of magicians and for their exclusive use. We carefully guard every effect entrusted in our care and fully guarantee our work or money back. We advise a careful perusal of the following pages which are replete with good things and many helpful hints and suggestions. Trusting that this little catalogue will meet with your approval, and soliciting a fair amount of your patronage in the future, we are Magically yours,

Exclusiveness Supreme The "Eureka" Set of Tables (Thayer's Original.) For Five Years a Leader—And Still Leading No amount of argument can possibly set aside the high standing and excellence of this outfit,—the proof of past experience among the ranks of many of the best amateur and professional magicians in the world.
A REAL NOVELTY IN MAGICAL WOODCRAFT One black art center table, with top 14x20 inches, containing two large wells 4x4 inches, and a handsome drape for same. Two side stands, with felt covered tops 12 inches in diameter. All wood parts in black and gold, and all have screw joints at top, bottom and center sections, which permits of very small carrying space, and at the same time being of the correct proportions to satisfy the ordinary requirements of the regular magic program. Altogether the nearest to the "ideal" that could be conceived of— in point of trim neatness, exceeding light weight and great durability. Furthermore this outfit offers a rare money saving investment, the equal of which can not be found elsewhere. No. 1. Price, complete $15.00 Page
