| 520 | _a"Parlour Magic" by Henry Perkins is a manual of entertaining scientific experiments and illusions intended for family recreation, likely written in the mid-19th century. The work aims to provide youth with creative and instructive ways to engage their friends during leisure time, using simple experiments that can be performed at home. Through a collection of engaging phenomena and magical tricks, the book encourages young readers to explore scientific principles while fostering their ability to impress and entertain. At the start of "Parlour Magic," the author outlines the purpose of the book, emphasizing its intention to relieve boredom and enrich social gatherings through playful experimentation. Perkins introduces a variety of light and color experiments, such as changing the color of flowers using heat and showcasing the properties of light through simple apparatuses. These opening portions highlight the accessible nature of the experiments, which require minimal materials and are designed for a parlour or drawing-room setting, allowing young "conjurors" to amaze their friends with scientific magic.
