      The fool is wise. The clown is sad. The trickster is honest. These may be cliches, but there is a truth to them. Artists who excel in their field often thrive on contradiction; indeed, their art seems to depend on it. To know what you are, you need t

      TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE

      The Contents are placed after the Preface.

      The figures have been placed between paragraphs, after they are mentioned in the text. This may result in a figure appearing to be in a different page than it was originally in in the printed book. The same applies to the single footnote of this book.

      Two publisher’s advertisement pages were placed at the beginning of the book in the printed book, in this version they have been moved to the end, with the other advertisement pages.

      Changes to the original publication have been marked with a dotted underline

      , and the printed text usually appears in a frame when hovering the cursor on it.

      PREFACE

      The title of this little brochure indicates its contents. Simple Tricks and simple tricks only. No apparatus is required and but little sleight-of-hand is needed in the performance of any of them. They consist of a series of tricks and problems, easily acquired, suitable for gatherings round the table on winter evenings. Some of them are new and many are old; but even the oldest are new to the rising generation. For six of the latest tricks,—"A Hindoo

      Swindle, The Elusive Match, A Subtle Impromptu Effect with a Coin, A Novel Card Effect, An Artful Card Force, and Another Easy Card Force,—I am indebted to my friend Mr. F. Walford Perry, a thoroughly up-to-date and original young conjurer. As I have already said, I have included no tricks which require the exercise of much sleight-of-hand; but even the most simple trick should be thoroughly practised before you present it to your friends, especially those tricks which require the assistance of a confederate. Rehearse everything with him thoroughly beforehand. Even your patter should be rehearsed. But endeavour to lead your audience to believe that, like Mr. Wemmick’s marriage, it is all impromptu. He said, Hello! here’s a church. Let’s have a wedding. You say, Hand me that serviette ring and I’ll show you 6 a trick." If, when the contents of this little volume have been thoroughly digested, my readers desire to make a study of more advanced legerdemain, I recommend my Conjuring Up to Date, Card Tricks with and without Apparatus, and Latest Sleights and Illusions to their notice.

      For tricks which require apparatus my readers cannot do better than to send to Messrs. Hamley Bros., Ltd., 35, New Oxford Street, or one of their branches, for their Magical Catalogue.

      The Daily Telegraph, in a recent article on Magic Fifty Years Ago, used these words: Hamleys’ were then, as they are now, the premier manufacturers of magical apparatus. A statement which I cordially endorse. The apparatus sold by Messrs. Hamley Bros. is invariably reliable.

      In conclusion I beg to offer my readers the following advice:—

      Never state the nature of the trick you are about to perform.

      Make it a rule never to repeat a trick the same evening unless you have acquired a different way of showing it. In fact, it is advisable to learn several methods of presenting the same trick.

      Talk as much as possible and make your patter lively, but do not try to be funny unless you are naturally humorous; and, above all, avoid allusions to politics, religion, or any subject about which there may be a diversity of opinion among your audience.

      Hercat.
