Latest magic, being original conjuring tricks
A 1918 New York edition of Professor Hoffmann's manual of original conjuring tricks, issued by Spon & Chamberlain for amateur and stage magicians and preserved in the Library of Congress Houdini Collection. The plates are plain black-line apparatus diagrams, drawn in simple perspective with flat hatched and ruled fills standing in for wood grain, metal, and shadow, offering designers ready-made geometric solids, striped textures, and prop cutaways.
