Guy K. Austin’s 1935 manual, published by Will Goldston, Ltd, provides a technical guide for the performing illusionist. This second edition details various sleight-of-hand routines, focusing on the integration of “patter”—the spoken script used to engage audiences and facilitate misdirection. The text includes instructional diagrams for card manipulation, silk effects, and billiard ball tricks. It reflects the professional standards of mid-1930s stage performance, emphasizing the precise timing and physical coordination required for successful conjuring.
