Comments: Classics of Magic Volume Two. Volume One was Coin Magic, Three: The Shower of Sweets, and Four: Poker Demonstration. This book does not present magic, but rather various figures you can make by folding a cloth napkin that could be useful in entertainment. A previous edition of this book was published as Fun at Dinner, Napkin Folding.
