Comments: "Ten varied effects I like. Pleasing effects for the professional. A good routine for the amateur. Helpful suggestions and autographs for your collection." Typewritten with illustrations.

From the Central New Jersey Home News Sunday Times, June 25th 1933, "Miss Jeanne Van Zandt has compiled her favorite tricks into a little booklet. This booklet, of which I am enclosing a copy, was prepared recently with my help. Jeanne calls these 11 tricks her favorite ones. They are written up especially for boys and girls, because they are simple yet good, and require the use of only things round the average Home as necessary equipment to do them."
