Comments: The fourth of five in the Ten New Tricks
Series. Interesting note from the preface, "THOUGH THE SALE of the
tricks herein described was discontinued some months ago, the
orders have continued coming in; and as my mechanical card tricks
can no longer be supplied, I have decided to rewrite the
instructions of ten of the most popular ones,adding directions
enabling any one to construct the necessary faked cards. This
little booklet is the result."
