First published in 1922, Indian Conjuring is an illustrated guide to Indian magic tricks by Major L. H. Branson (1879 - 1946), a British officer in the British Indian Army and magician. It includes explanations and step-by-step instructions for a variety of magic tricks that the author came across while serving in colonial India during the early twentieth century. Contents include: A Comparison, The Cup and Balls, The Bamboo-Sticks, The Ring on the Stick, The Glass Box, The Bunder Boat, The Bowl of Rice, The Coloured Sands, A Rope Trick, The Swastika, The Egg Bag, The Dancing Duck, The Mango Tree Trick, etc. Other notable works by this author include: A Text Book of Magic as Elbiquet (1913), Supplementary Magic as Elbiquet (1917), and A Lifetime of Deception: Reminiscences of a Magician (1953). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
