Mentalism with Cards (49 pages, 34 feats). Miracle Slate Routines (57 pages, 38 feats). Envelope Necromancy (28 pages, 13 feats). Miscellaneous Mental Masterpieces (38 pages, 25 feats). 'Dead or Alive' Effects (11 pages, II feats). Effects with Billets and Pellets (23 pages, 12 feats). The contents of the twelve chapters are as follows: Probably as good a way as any to indicate the scope of the book, and the relative importance of its several divisions, is to give the titles of the chapters, together with the number of pages and feats included in each. Crimmins, as editor, has brought together in this exceptional collection of mental effects. Such a list of contributors is in itself ample guarantee of the high quality of the material which Mr. Jamison, and others whose names are familiar to readers of current literature on magic. Read, Jean Hugard, Peter Warlock, Stanley Collins, Dai Vernon, Audley Walsh, Henry Christ, R. Duncanson and one or two by each of fifty or more others, including such well-known performers and writers as Joseph Dunninger, Al Baker, Sid Lorraine, Stuart Robson, Karl Germain, Tom Sellers, Otis Manning, Paul Curry, Ralph W. Jaks, Clayton Rawson, Jack Vosburgh, Eddie Clever, R. Vosburgh Lyons seven by Orville Meyer five by Henry Fetsch four by Stewart James three each by Dr.

We note that feats by at least sixty-seven persons are described. The most we can hope to do, by way of reviewing this wealth of mysteries, is to give some idea of their authorship and the ground that is covered, and then single out a few individual tricks which happen to appeal to us as especially good. We learn from the Table of Contents (which is here labeled 'Index') that Practical Mental Effects explains 193 feats, which are grouped into twelve chapters.

We are not applauding the use of small type - and, indeed, would have preferred a larger size (though the excellence of the type-face makes it easily readable) - but are merely emphasizing the fact that there has been no 'rationing' of material in the present book. A simple calculation of the kind often made by printers indicates that if the format of Practical Mental Effects were the same as that of the Tarbell books, it would make a 400-page volume. It numbers 310 pages, size 6 by 9 inches but, because it is very compact and is printed in rather small type, it contains more material than is found in many a book which gives the appearance of being substantially larger. It is, moreover, a far bigger book than it seems at first glance to be. It is, to be sure, a much more expensive book, but it is also much larger and much more elaborately gotten out. Crimmins, Jr., will prove any less popular. There is no reason to suppose that Annemann's Practical Mental Effects, compiled in the main from the same source (the pages of The Jinx) and capably arranged and edited (as was the earlier work) by John J.
