(Lionel Hugh) 1879 1946 24014177 Indian Conjuring Produced by Sankar Viswanathan and The Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive/American Libraries.) "Indian Conjuring" by L. H. Branson is a detailed examination of the art and techniques of Indian magic and juggling, likely written in the early 20th century. This book serves as both an instructional guide and a critical commentary, providing insights into the various tricks performed by Indian conjurers, known as Jadoo-wallahs. The author compares these performances with their Western counterparts, aiming to enlighten readers about the methods behind common tricks and the cultural context of Indian magic. The narrative unfolds through a series of chapters, each dedicated to specific tricks like the Cups and Balls, the Rope Trick, and the Dancing Duck, among others. Branson not only describes the performance and equipment involved but also intricately explains the mechanics behind each trick, revealing how they deceive audiences. He critiques the artistic merits of the Indian conjurer while contrasting them with the more refined techniques of Western magicians, asserting that many Indian tricks are simpler and have not evolved over time. In doing so, Branson aims to uphold the dignity of Western conjuring while providing an educational look at a fascinating cultural tradition in India. The book mixes practical knowledge with cultural observations, making it a unique entry in the genre of magic literature. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
