Modern magic : a practical treatise on the art of conjuring
Modern Magic, a practical treatise on conjuring by Professor Hoffmann, published in London and New York by George Routledge and Sons in 1894, aimed at amateur and professional magicians learning sleight of hand. The four engraved pictures show hands handling cards and small boxes in close detail, with a line drawing of a hinged box and a card-case, so a designer can borrow the precise, instructional hand-drawn style of Victorian magic manuals.
