Written under the pseudonym "Elbiquet", this is Branson's first book exploring conjuring methods and techniques. This is unusual in that it explains a range of effects and then has an appendix describing how to make the apparatus used. This has a circular retailers sticker from Will Goldston on the front endpaper.
 
Condition: Very good, some wear to the top of spine, slight fading to covers, some foxing and yellowing to pages and some spotting to page edges. Previous owner's name written on front endpaper (Welsh magician Harry Benson).
