FOREWORD who are seeking that evanescent " something new " which, like thè Family Ghost, is very often talked about but seldom seen, will, I venture to prophesy, find " something new " MAGICIANS
in Originai Magical Creations.
In penning this volume my aim has been twofold. In thè fìrst piace, I have set out to describe in detail thè methods by which certain experiments originated by myself are performed, and secondly my endeavour has been to teach how to perform thetn, which is a totally different proposition. To carry out this pian in its entirety, thè inclusion of thè covering patter becomes a sine qua non, and this feature of my book I am confident will be welcomed, as thè patter in every case is arranged specially to serve thè purpose ali magical patter should serve, namely to cover up suspicious movements and to give specious reasons for doing things which would otherwise appear unnatural. 7

FOREWORD
In describing thè various feats in connexion with Cards, I have presupposed thè student to be acquainted with thè familiar card sleights which are explained in numerous text books. Sleight-of-hand tricks pure and simple, however, have been omitted, as these I propose exhaustively dealing with in a section of another volume to be planned on lines identical with this. Those who purchase this volume hoping to find mere explanations of some scores of tricks which can do nothing more than satisfy idle curiosity, [will be doomed to disappointment. The book is written for thè serious student, and thè items included are intended to be practical lessons in a few Originai Magical Creations.
