About the Author
The writings of Ellis Stanyon (1870-1951), a professional magician and London-based magic dealer, remain highly sought after by illusionists of all types and experience levels. Intending to "popularize the art of sleight of hand," he published his own journal from 1900 onward. Stanyon was denounced by Harry Houdini, who dismissed Stanyon's revelations of trade secrets as "puny attempts at duplication."

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. From little table tricks to grand illusions, this how-to book by a famed performer and author offers something for every aspiring magician. More than 200 popular illusions - accompanied by simple, well-illustrated explanations - range from several ways to make a handkerchief disappear to dissolving a billiard ball and stage levitation.
