Comments: Illustrated by Hahne. Provides samples of show programs from various magicians. details include acts and sequence performed, dress, stage layout, etc.
From the book, "It is obviously impossible to include the programs of all professional magicians in this book. I am well aware that many skillful and talented performers who have possibly achieved greater reputation than many in these pages are not included. My selections, to a certain extent, have been decided by the numbers of requests received to include the programs of certain magicians and as many varied routines as possible."
