From the introduction:

In the quiet sanctum of ones home, or in a circle of intimate friends, a person performing an effect in magic may be perfectly at ease, but under fire before a critical audience it may be a different story. More times than I care to remember I have seen this happen; this is especially true of the spare-time Magician and, believe me, it is my sincere desire to help overcome this failing.

But, I also believe a person can be taught to perform Magicians tricks in a manner that is quite pleasing. It is with this thought in mind that I have consented to put into print my version of the routines that are in this book; some are old, and some are of my origination, to the old tricks, we hope we have added something that will give you added pleasure for the rest of your lives.

On the cover it says that this is volume one. To the best of our knowledge there has never been a volume two.
