TRICKS AND DIVERSIONS WITH CARDS.?New York: Hurst & Co., ca. 1880. Publisher?s brown cloth stamped in blind and gilt (lower stained). Illustrated. 8vo. 90pp. [6] ads. Very good. The first example we have encountered with this binding. Primarily a manual of card tricks, this work was frequently reprinted as a pitch book with different magicians? names on the cover. It also explains techniques of ?blacklegs and gamblers,? including the Bottom Deal, Strippers, and a basic method for ?giving the office.?
