Comprehensive 1938 work on “THE OLD ARMY GAME” which is as popular with magic audiences today as ever. This is an extended treatise outlining in detail the wonderful ENTERTAINMENT possibilities of the game. In a series of 13 ARTICLES, it describes and illustrates all the CLEVER and SUBTLE moves, SLEIGHTS and expedients with both PEA and SHELLS which have been successfully used by professional operators. It gives you what amounts to PERSONAL INSTRUCTION in a series of 10 LESSONS, teaching you how to practice and master the various passes, manipulations, fake moves, and sucker dodges so you can execute them with finesse and skill. Then you are given a series of 33 EXHIBITION ROUTINES, three SPECIAL STARTING ROUTINES and a routine with coins which will prove a knockout in the hands of any magician. There is also a chapter on the HISTORY OF THE GAME and one on SHILLS and SHARPERS both of which will prove highly interesting. New layout with larger, easier-to-read type, 54 big pages, 47 illustrations.
