"More Conjuring: Simple Tricks for Social Gatherings" by Hercat is a practical guidebook on performing magic tricks, most likely written in the early 20th century. The book is designed for amateur magicians and enthusiasts at social gatherings, providing a variety of easy-to-learn illusions that require little equipment or skill. The content focuses on card and coin tricks, puzzles, as well as simple tricks involving everyday objects, aiming to amuse and entertain audiences. The opening of the book introduces the reader to its purpose and structure, explicitly stating that it contains only simple tricks suitable for casual performances. Hercat emphasizes the importance of practice and presentation, recommending rehearsal not only of the tricks themselves but also of the accompanying "patter." He assures readers that these tricks can create an air of spontaneity, despite their simplicity, encouraging them to engage their audiences with lively interaction.
