Part VII.—Natural Magic, or Recreations in Science, embracing Curious Amusements in Magnetism, Mechanics, Acoustics, Chemistry, Hydraulics and Optics.
Part VIII.—A Curious Collection of Entertaining Experiments, Amusing Puzzles, Queer Sleights, Including the Celebrated Science of Second Sight, Recreations in Arithmetic, and Fireside Games for Family Pastime, and other Astonishing Scientific Paradoxes and Attractive Amusements.
The Secret Out is, by all odds, the most curious book that has been published in many years, and lays bare the whole machinery of magic, and with a simplicity so perfect that nobody can fail to become a domestic magician in a week, with very little study and practice. Such is the unerring process of instruction adopted in this volume, that no reader can fail to succeed in executing every Trick, Experiment, Game, etc., set down, if he will at all devote his attention, in his leisure hours, to the subject; and, as every trick with cards known will be found in this collection, it may be considered the only complete work on the subject ever published. 400 pages, bound in cloth, gilt
