Preface

IN PRESENTING this work to the magical fraternity of England and America, I desire to thank "SELBIT" for his kind assistance.

Having seen several attempts at a solution of the Kettle Mystery, none of which could be called workable, I place before the Conjuring world my original conception of the act, which from personal experience I know to be practical and workable.

I also include several magical effects that are now for the first time made public, and I wish to thank MAX STERLING, CHAS. TRICKEY, and ED. FIELDEN for the effects they so kindly placed at my disposal.

For the Balloon Trick and the Tin Trunk Escape I know not who to thank. To the remainder I must plead guilty to dressing up old tricks in new clothes.

That this small effort of mine, when read, will find a place in your book-case is the wish of

Yours as ever,

HARRY WHITELEY.
