This very unusual book explains a range of comedy skits poking fun at traditional concert party entertainments, such as conjuring, juggling, second sight, ventriloquism and many more. A very interesting book from the golden age of magic.
 
Condition: Very good, covers have minor wear and a few marks, endpapers foxed and pages yellowed with a few marks and inscriptions, Hamley's label to title page. A particularly nice copy.
