La prestidigitation sans appareils : traité de tous les tours de mains anciens et de toutes les manipulations nouvelles (notamment du double empalmage), comprenant des tours anciens et modernes (cartes, pièces, billes de billard, dés à coudre) / Camille Gaultier,..
Camille Gaultier's 1914 Paris manual of sleight-of-hand conjuring, written for magicians and amateurs working without apparatus, covering card, coin, billiard-ball and thimble manipulations. Numbered halftone photographs show cropped hands against plain backgrounds palming, pinching and passing small objects, printed coarse enough to read as grainy silhouettes and usable as instructional gesture diagrams or figure-and-plate typography.
