Rare first and probably only edition, published anonymously, of a collection of conjuring tricks as well as dexterous games for use within the family at home, at parties and at social gatherings. As the publisher states in his preface, all the tricks and games are natural and can be understood by everyone. They were collected from all over Europe and fully explained for all people to perform for their own pleasure or for entertaining other people. Natural magic was at the time very popular with the general public as of course there was no television then.

Good, sl. used copy.- (One plate loose).
