"Hanky Panky: A Book of Conjuring Tricks" by Wiljalba Frikell is a collection of magic tricks and illusions likely written in the late 19th century. The work presents a variety of conjuring tricks ranging from simple to complex, incorporating items like coins, cards, and handkerchiefs, which reflect the performance arts of the time. The book caters to both beginners and more experienced magicians, providing clear instructions and practical illustrations alongside engaging narratives. The opening of the book introduces the reader to a range of simple tricks. It begins by presenting illustrations and descriptions for performing magic with basic materials such as paper and handkerchiefs, evoking a nostalgic feel for classic childhood magic. For example, tricks like "Fly Away, Jack!" and "Dance, Boatman, Dance!" are described, involving playful narratives that engage spectators. Each trick is carefully laid out with steps to perform the illusion, maintaining a breezy and entertaining tone, while hinting at the skill necessary for the art of conjuring and the joy of captivating an audience.
