Comments: Edited by Robert Parrish. Deluxe Edition was distributed by Edward O. Drane & Co.. Also included as an appendix in Charles Romano's House of Cards, about the life of Rosini.

From the foreword, "In 1947, Paul Rosini asked me to help him write a book of his tricks. We spent a great deal of time talking over its contents and had gone so far as to pick out a cover design when Paul was called away to work at the Brown Hotel in Louisville. Other engagements followed and the book, which we had planned to publish by Christmas, did not materialize. When the next Christmas came around, the magic world had lost Paul Rosini."
