Umschlagtext:

No mere book of tricks, this. It incorporates one of the most amazing ideas ever developed in magic.

To begin, Mr. Fitzkee reduces all magic tricks to some nineteen general basic effects. Then, one by one, he discusses ALL of the possible ways of accomplishing any of these general effects. Striking a keynote of new tricks from the very beginning, be immediately starts suggesting ways of develop-jug new tricks from old ones. Scores of new trick plots and methods are evolved during the logical, keenly scientific analysis which eventually rips away all of the disguises concealing the basic secrets of all magic. These basic secrets are revealed clearly and unmistakably.

Then, one of the most astonishing achievements in magic is presented to you. It is THE TRICK BRAIN. While this title has been given to the whole book, actually THE TRICK BRAIN is a brilliant special device incorporated as a special section. Through an ingenious system, THE TRICK BRAIN suggests new effects specifically. It tells you what you will need to develop such an effect. Then it tells you the actual things to use.

Finally, it TELLS YOU HOW TO DO THE TRICK.-Yes, the actual secret. And, in addition, if it should happen that you do not like the method, or if it is unusable for some reason, it suggests alternate methods.

Then come instructions on how to use THE TRICK BRAIN-step by step. On how to use it for original tricks, original programs. On how to use it to revise old tricks and on how to reclaim discarded or no-longer-used apparatus.

THERE IS NO LIMIT TO THE NUMBER OF TRICKS IT WILL REVEAL TO YOU - CONTINUOUSLY!
