special cards, marked cards, and tricks requiring no sleights of hand or
special apparatus. Additionally, the book includes chapters on card tricks
dependent on sleight of hand and tricks that require apparatus or special
cards. The work also extends to stage tricks, providing a comprehensive guide
for enthusiasts and practitioners of card magic. Originally released in
sections under the titles, “Card Tricks With Apparatus” and “Card
Tricks Without Apparatus” since 1893. This manual has remained a
significant contribution to the field of magic, reflecting Hoffmann’s influence
as a prolific magic author and translator.
