I should point out here, to avoid confusion, that in this case “magic” refers exclusively to stage magic and not such Magic (or Magick) as people like Aleister Crowley discuss. The book explains, mostly in very practical terms, the array or “tricks,” “gimmicks” or “swindles” (!) one can perform on stage in order to appear to be a mind reader in order to entertain an audience.

The book explains, mostly in very practical terms, the array or “tricks,” “gimmicks” or “swindles” (!) one can perform on stage in order to appear to be a mind reader in order to entertain an audience. Most of these pamphlets were originally written in the late 1950s or early 1960s, and as the author is British, there are some interesting (at times confusing) anachronisms or foreign terms to grapple with, for example when he speaks of any trick involving currency.

There are also many typos and writing errors of various kinds, although the editors have done a good job of making page references consistent to the book’s pagination, instead of for example referring you to “page 8 of step three.” Probably because of its history as a series of booklets, the front end of the book is heavily weighted toward practical advice, and the back is where most of the theory is covered. If you’re not interested in the history of stage magic, this book still has a few interesting sections, especially those in which he reveals how “phony mediums” put on their performances. It’s also interesting, from an ethical standpoint, how disapproving he is of “phony mediums” and others who use these techniques to rip people off instead of entertain them. It’s interesting in part, because the whole conceit of his act, and everyone else involved in this business, is to pretend that mind reading really is possible, and that these staged tricks demonstrate it, while throughout the book he is clearly telling you it isn’t, and how you can guess a card or number without being a real mind reader. The last two chapters are also interesting, in terms of the advice he gives on publicity and self-promotion, though of course he is dealing with a different level of communications technology than is normal today. More broadly, what is interesting about this book is the ways it demonstrates how easily people can be fooled, how ready they are to be fooled, and how a smart individual can take advantage of that.

Beverly proves to be extremely skilled and formidable in defending herself, systematically discrediting nearly every witness against her by using trick questioning to incite Dottie to by repeated obscenities; finding a -themed magazine in Gracey's trash, invoking that judging a person by what they choose to read proves nothing; badgering Rosemary into admitting she doesn't recycle; and fanning her legs repeatedly at pervert Marvin Pickles, witness to Carl's murder, whose resulting over-arousal causes him to commit.
