Originally published in French in 1868, this conjuring manual by Robert-Houdin (1805–71), the best-known stage magician of his time, revealed the secret techniques behind the coin and card tricks popular with Victorian audiences. This English translation by Louis Hoffmann, a barrister and writer on magic tricks, appeared in 1877.
