Overview

The demand for a second edition of this work affords me an opportunity of thanking my numerous correspondents for their friendly expressions, and at the same time of noticing the very generally expressed desire that I should extend my revelations to the specialities of Messrs. Maskelyne and Cooke and M. Buatier. This, however, as will be seen on reflection, would be extremely unfair towards those gentlemen. A first-class stage trick has frequently taken months, or even years, to bring to perfection, and while it remains a novelty, has a high commercial value. 1 have purposely limited my disclosures to such illusions as have been sufficiently long before the public to be fairly regarded as common property. Within this limit I have endeavoured to make my explanations as complete as possible; but to go beyond it would be to infringe a moral copyright, and to deprive gentlemen to whom Modem Magic is especially indebted, of the well-earned fruits of their labour and invention.
