Modern Magic Manual by Jean Hugard

Reprinted by Faber and Faber Limited in 1973

”This book is dedicated to the magicians of the past and present with the hope that it will lead others to follow in the illustrious footsteps of my friends, Houdini, Thurston, Kellar, Herrmann, Hardeen, Cardini, and that great master of legerdemain, Robert-Houdin, to whom all of us owe our start.” - Jean Hugard
