This book is available online as a free pdf. Does anyone know its origin? It has a great quote:
"Magic is an art but when you get to the root it is nothing but your personality and wit against that of your watcher, and a case of telling him to do as he pleases and then letting him do what you want him to. You can't afford to be bashful in this line. It takes nerve and polite forwardness but don't make the mistake of thinking that I mean you should get big-headed and think you are better than the audience. They could probably "break" you in business but they are out of their environment for a little pleasure and you are being paid to furnish it. Don't browbeat and bully them and scowl and growl but keep your face smiling and at the same time go at your task as if you know that you are doing and just how to do it."

The full contents were originally published in the December 1952 issue of The Sphinx.
It appears to be another posthumous publication made from excerpts of Annemann in The Sphinx.
