Magical Deceptions by Charles Crayford is a classic volume devoted to the art of close-up and parlor magic, with a strong emphasis on coins, everyday objects, and practical performance techniques. Crayford blends clever mechanical principles with smooth sleight-of-hand to create effects that are both baffling and efficient for the working magician.
 
Condition Notes:  As shown in the photos, there is some damage to the front cover. Aside from this and a bit of minor age-related discoloration and storage wear, the book remains in very good overall condition — a classic addition to any magic library.
