Comments (Lybrary.com):
This book is an excerpt from New Era Card Tricks. Here is
a historical ad from the Charles T. Powner Co. in Chicago: "This
book gives, with careful and easy instructions, the newest card
tricks and sleight-of-hand yet offered to professionals and
amateurs. Not only does this book contain all of the new tricks,
but nearly every one known is fully explained and exposed by
explicit directions and carefully prepared illustrations. 160
pages, 80 fine illustrations...". Note, the Charles T. Powner
& Co. Edition seems to end at page 155.
