Legends are full of great magic; and so is the modern world. This book restricts itself to magic 'tricks', that is, bits of magic with methods so repeatable; and results so visible, awe-inspiring, and harmless; that people (magicians!) travel around performing them for audiences.


Specific Tricks

By components

Rings (Linking Rings )

Cards (Color changes, forcing)

Coins

Other Props (balls, cups, cloths, zombies, special boxes & rods & hats, &c.)

By method

Sleight of hand

Physics (Magnets, static)

Misdirection

Collaboration (Planting an accomplice in the target "audience")


The Book of Tricks is devoted to those tricks which are non-magical; that is, which are not a mystery once seen, but can be difficult to figure out from a description alone.
