Synopsis
Excerpt from New and Original Magic: Comprising a Number of Novel and Entertaining Effects, a Fund of Information for the Professional Artist and His Younger Brother, the Amateur
Not since Professor Hoffmann's Modern Magic of forty-five years ago has there appeared a book on practical mechanical magic, until Mr. Massey gave us this truly original work.
The literature of magic is not only enlarged, but also enriched by this addition to the number, few indeed are the works that remain as permanent texts and guides for the worker in magic and mystery. I commend the book to you, my fellow laborers, who seek to elevate magic, and place it among the arts and sciences, where it rightly and properly belongs.
