HOCUS POCUS; OR THE WHOLE ART OF LEGERDEMAIN, IN PERFECTION. BY HENRY DEAN.

TO WHICH IS NOW ADDED, Abundance of New and Rare Inventions.

BY HENRY DEAN.

PHILADELPHIA: PRINTED FOR MATHEW CAREY, NO. 118, MARKET-STREET.

THE PREFACE TO THE READER.

KIND READER,

HENRY DEAN.

The Whole ART of LEGERDEMAIN; OR, HOCUS POCUS IN PERFECTION, &c.

Legerdemain is an operation whereby one may seem to work wonderful, impossible, and incredible things, by agility, nimbleness, and slight of hand. The parts of this ingenious art, are principally four.

First, In conveyance of balls. Secondly, In conveyance of money. Thirdly, In cards, Fourthly, In confederacy.

You must place yourself at the farther end of the table, and then you must provide yourself three cups, made of tin, and then you must have your black sticks of magic to shew your wonders withal; then you must provide four small cork balls to play with; but do not let more than three of them be seen upon the table.

Note. Always conceal one ball in the right hand, between your middle finger and ring finger: and be sure make yourself perfect to hold it there, for, by this means, all the tricks of the cups are done.
