Introduction by Hen Fetsch

In this book Milbourne Christopher tells you how to do almost everything but pull a rabbit out of a Thumb Tip. The genial Mr. Christopher is one of the most prolific writers on magic of this generation. Practical hocus pocus from his pen has appeared in Hugard's Magic Monthly, Conjurors Magazine, The Sphinx, Tops and many other periodicals both here and abroad.

This is his fifth book of magic. All the others (Including one in collaboration with a certain fellow whose initials are H.F.) have been best sellers in conjuring circles and this volume is destined to join the rest. 

If Milbourne Christopher writes straight to the point, it is because of his background. He has presented his magic in 28 countries and delighted such celebrities as the Maharajah of Indore, J. Edgar Hoover and H. L. Mencken. He has been featured on coast to coast radio programs and frequently televised. 

So take out your Thumb Tip, and get to work. If you don't add a batch of new feats to your repertoire, I'll eat my - Thumb Tip.
