Dunninger’s Complete Encyclopedia of Magic

This astounding compendium of magic was originally published in the early 20th century and actually doesn’t have so much to do with Joseph Dunninger the famous magician and mentalist. It’s really a collection of secrets and pseudo-secrets. Even if you filter out the ridiculous and downright silly (which is still a lot of fun to read) you will find some really cool secrets and probably have to smile as you go along too.
