Before proceeding to describe the tricks and experiments which we have selected to form this httle hand-book of parlor magic, we wish to address to our readers, and we hope students, a few words of general direction. In the first place, many tricks owe their mystery to the fact that their performance is really so simple that spectators cannot but behere that there is something very wonderful about them. The tricks of sleight of hand, how- ever, require careful practice and frequent repe- tition to insure success, and science has less to do with most of them than manual dexterity. The very interesting chemical experiments way be performed with perfect safety and success, If the directions are strictly followed «nd intelligent attention exercised. The chemi- cals and apparatus required may be obtained Irom any druggist, though sometimes some of the vessels may be improvised bv using house- hold utensils, but to understand exactly what is required you should procure the illustrated ^atalogue published by Messrs. Lyman Sons & €o of Montreal, Que.
