Indian Conjuring - With 8 Illustrations

First published in 1922, “Indian Conjuring” is an illustrated guide to Indian magic tricks by Major L. H. Branson (1879 – 1946), a British officer in the British Indian Army and magician. It includes explanations and step-by-step instructions for a variety of magic tricks that the author came across while serving in colonial India during the early twentieth century. Contents include: “A Comparison”, “The Cup and Balls”, “The Bamboo-Sticks”, “The Ring on the Stick”, “The Glass Box”, “The Bunder Boat”, “The Bowl of Rice”, “The Coloured Sands”, “A Rope Trick”, “The Swastika”, “The Egg Bag”, “The Dancing Duck”, “The Mango Tree Trick”, etc. Other notable works by this author include: “A Text Book of Magic as Elbiquet” (1913), “Supplementary Magic as Elbiquet” (1917), and “A Lifetime of Deception: Reminiscences of a Magician” (1953). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
