Comments (from the introduction): "Encouraged by the success that attended the publication of Vol. I. of The Young Conjuror, I have prepared another volume of easy tricks, suitable for the beginner, and trust that it will be found equally acceptable by those for whom it is intended. This little book contains some very valuable secrets, and the explanations of the tricks are so clear that the youngest student of magic will have no difficulty in understanding them."

Many tricks require special apparatus, which was made available by the "A.W. Gamage Ltd." company. For example, we find a Karate coin, shells, and special coin boxes used for the coin routines.

Note: this book is different than the later published "The Young Conjurer, Part 2" (note the difference in spelling of 'Conjuror' vs. 'Conjurer'. The two books have different contents.
