Hanky Panky. A Book of Conjuring Tricks

German magician Wiljalba Frikell was a legend of his time. Harry Houdini himself tried for years to meet the man, whom he credited with putting magicians into black tie and tails rather than sorcerer’s robes. When Houdini was finally able to set a meeting and reached the house, Frikell had died an hour earlier. In Hanky Panky, Frikell gives instructions in hundreds of tricks: from coins, rings, knives and cards to optical and fire illusions.
