Thurston, Howard: 100 Tricks You Can Do |
![]() Image courtesy eBay seller petal5248 |
Comments: Illustrated. Note that I think this edition is
different than the 1912 edition of "One Hundred Tricks You Can
Do". Dietrich's listing below shows the contents listed in subject
chapters, such as "Ball Tricks" and "Card Tricks", while the pages
of the 1912 edition I've seen don't seem to be laid out this way.
The 1912 edition effects are one per page, with a B&W photo
accompanied by the effect description.
