Ventriloquism made easy, also, an exposure of magic, and the second sight mystery
An 1860 how-to manual on ventriloquism, conjuring and second-sight tricks, written by E. Mason Jr. and issued in Philadelphia by Wyman the Wizard for amateur performers. Small wood-engraved diagrams show lettered apparatus in flat perspective \u2014 cones, hinged boxes, canisters with dotted hidden compartments \u2014 plus a puppet head and gown; useful for cutaway diagram conventions and lettered key marks.
