By John Braun

For seventeen and a half years, John Braun - longtime editor of The Linking Ring, international president of the IBM, and one of magic's most respected writers - produced a monthly column, Of Legierdemaine and Diverse Juggling Knacks.

Now, those columns have been collected and indexed into one magnificent volume.  As you journey through these pages, you'll discover hundreds of stories and tricks of magicians like Kellar, Robert-Houdin, Germain, Maskelyne, Devant, Ching Ling Foo, Herrmann and T. Nelson Downs.
