PREFACE Owing to the great prejudice entertained by some performers, and others interested in magic, against books exposing conjuring secrets, the Author desires to state that this, his first, work on the subject, owes its existence primarily to the fact that people, who cannot by any stretch of imagination be called "authorities" on the art, have recently been publishing pamphlets, &c., purporting to contain a full exposure of his original Coin Creation, "The Miser's Dream."
The booklets above referred to are absolutely misleading in every sense of the word, none of them even giving the elementary details with any amount of accuracy.
In the following pages the Author presents the correct methods employed by him in his celebrated act, followed by innumerable coin sleights of his recent invention, and in so doing hopes that his magical friends, professional and amateur, will consider this book an interesting addition to the already great number of works on what many consider to be the most fascinating art of the period.
