Excerpt from Later Magic
I have further to record my great Obligation to Messrs. Hamley Brothers, the oldest and best-known firm of London dealers, for much useful information, and for valuable assistance in the way of lending apparatus for illustration.
The editors of Mahatma and Die Zauberwelt kindly placed the contents of their columns at my disposal, and I have freely availed myself of their courtesy. Where the author of a given trick is known, I have given him the credit of the invention, but the discovery in such cases of the real Simon Pure is not always an easy matter. Till a conjuring trick has become a suc cess, nobody cares who invented it, but let it once catch on, and there are half a dozen claimants for the honour. If, therefore, I have unwittingly wronged any one in this particular, I trust he will accept my apology.
