TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE.
The following pages are a translation of a recent French work entitled " Recueil de Tours de
Physique Amusante," published by Delarue of Paris. They do not profess to form a complete
treatise on the art of conjuring, but merely to describe, with the appropriate " boniment" or
"patter," a selection of illusions which, by reason of the small amount and portable nature of the
apparatus required for them, and their comparative independence of "stage" appliances, are
especially suitable for drawing-room performance.
It is assumed that the reader possesses a certain amount of elementary knowledge, which is
indicated, rather than actually conveyed, in the preliminary chapter. Where such knowledge is
wanting, the student desirous of complete instruction will find it in the writer's work on "Modern
Magic," 1 of which a sixth Edition has recently been issued, and to which references, where
appropriate, have been given. So far, however, as space has permitted I have endeavoured, by
explanatory footnotes, to render the text fully intelligible, without the necessity of recourse to
any extraneous source of information.
LOUIS HOFFMANN.
January, 1887.
