P.T. Selbit - The Magician's Handbook
PDF
The inventor of "sawing a lady in half" has written quite an interesting book. It covers a good range of topics. Particularly the inclusion of fringe fields to magic， such as juggling and black art， makes this book unique. Certainly this is mainly a magic book， so tricks with handkerchiefs， and balls are many to be found as well as several interesting illusions. This book is in one other respect quite different to other books. The table of contents is in alphabetical order. So Selbit has kind of combined contents and index - interesting.

1st edition， 1901， Marshall & Brookes， London; 188 pages.
