| 520 | _a"Sleight of Hand: A Practical Manual of Legerdemain for Amateurs & Others" by Edwin Sachs is a comprehensive instructional guide on magic tricks, particularly focusing on the art of sleight of hand. The work appears to have been penned during the late 19th century, specifically around 1885, as indicated by its publication details. The book serves both as a practical manual for aspiring magicians and an exploration of the principles underlying various magic tricks that engage both amateur enthusiasts and experienced performers alike. At the start of the manual, the author, Edwin Sachs, introduces the reader to the captivating world of conjuring and its historical significance. He discusses the psychological elements involved in magic, emphasizing the joy of being mystified, and explores the transition of conjuring from ancient practices to modern performances. The opening portion includes a preface detailing the revisions made in the second edition, followed by an introduction that sets the stage for the practical instructions that follow. Sachs candidly shares his insights on mastering the essential techniques of legerdemain, including the importance of practice, precision, and resourcefulness, laying down foundational skills necessary for performing various tricks, especially those involving coins.
