Magic in the Making by John Mulholland and Milton M Smith
A detailed description of approximately twenty magic tricks-including The Baker's Arrow, The Stolen Apple, The Spectacles of Diogenes, The Invisible Scribe,
The Tower of Cadiz, The Detective's X-Ray, The Wishing Jewel, etc.
The tricks are preceded by a short section on the history of magic and followed by a chapter on general principles on making magic.
One of Mulholland's first books, published in 1925, but still very worthwhile in this modern era.
John Mulholland was a noted American magician and magician historian, editing the magic journal, 'The Sphinx' for many years, as well as touring and lecturing
on magic. He was considered one of the best writers on magic during his time.
