Comments: A collection of material - some of it repeats the majority of what is found in M. Young Publishers' Secrets of Ancient and Modern Magic (but not all), and adds a portion (but not all) of the Magic Made Easy section of Johnson Smith's 250 Parlor Tricks, and throws in a few other effects as well. In my research I've noted that one edition of 250 Parlor Tricks book shows "Donald E. Lamb" over the title. So, I wonder if Donald was the original author of this part? Finally, I believe some editions included a Johnson & Smith Catalog as a second half of the book.
