Having read the proofs of some of the items in this book, I am eager to read the rest and add the completed volume to my bookcase.

The sheets I speak of have been read in a dressing room in this large theatre, and afterwards as I have walked upon the stage and seen the packed houses, and when I have heard of the hundreds unable to obtain admission, all drawn by the great Magnet of Magic, I could not help reflecting on the Magic of to-day as compared with the Magic of yesterday, and thinking how very much books have helped in the progress of the Art. I am only one exponent of Magic, but my experience goes back thirty-five years when there were very few books ; but I always remember one of those books, " Modern Magic," made me a conjurer, and I have always been grateful to the Author, that best friend of Magic, ANGELO LEWIS. And now I commend and welcome this newest book, " The Magic of To-morrow," another unit in the legion of good books that are the loving work of lovers of Magic.
