Time flies! And a great deal of time has passed since Professor Hoffmann wrote Later Magic. Yet, the fundamental principles of magic and the principles of performance are as valid today as they were at the beginning of the twentieth century.

Each trick is explained clearly and in detail, with clear, supporting illustrations, and as Professor Hoffmann has said, the books are "designed to give an account of the most up-to-date methods of magic, and to enable the conjurer of the twentieth century to start fully equipped..."

Hoffmann's Later Magic covers a wide range of topics from the conjurer's dress and appliances to a variety of tricks, both simple and complex. Among the many tricks explained are tricks with hats, tricks with eggs, gloves, flags, handkerchiefs, rings, watches, the magic wand and color changing tricks. This book is a must for every professional and amateur performer of magic.
