OVERVIEW – Dunningers Complete Encyclopedia of Magic
- A variety of tricks: The book contains magic tricks from many different genres. Some are large-scale illusions from the vaudeville days, while others are simple tricks that can be performed with household objects.
- Illustrated explanations: Each trick is explained with diagrams to show how it’s done. Some readers have found the vintage style of the illustrations and wording to be a little dated however, the explanations are still helpful for understanding how illusions work.
- Stagecraft and illusions: It details the construction and use of stage illusions and large-scale props, like spirit cabinets and vanishing cabinets.
- Mentalism and psychic phenomena: As a known debunker of fraudulent mediums, Dunninger also covers tricks that replicate spiritualist phenomena and mentalism.
- Less conventional magic: Some sections cover more unusual aspects of magic, such as how to create puppets, and contain entertaining “pipe dreams” alongside practical effects.
