The Boy's Own Book of Sports and Pastimes: Tricks and Magic William Clarke

Originally published in the late 1800s. The illustrated contents describe and instruct on various aspects of tricks and magic: Simple Deceptions and easy Tricks - Tricks with Money - Cards - Feats with Special Apparatus - Paradoxes and Puzzles - Deaf and Dumb Alphabet. Etc. Many of the earliest games books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Home Farm Books are republishing many of these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
