The book opens auspiciously with a fine halftone portrait of Harry Kellar. This is followed by a preliminary chapter by Mr. Oursler, entitled The Magic of Today, a 17-page account of some of the leaders in the world of modern magic, with excellent photographic likenesses of Frederick Eugene Powell, David Devant, Howard Thurston, Harry Houdini, Harry Blackstone, Richard Cardini, Eugene Laurant, Horace Goldin, Al Baker, and a half-dozen other well-known magicians. Another preliminary item, and one that will command the attention and respect of every thoughtful magician, is a three-page article written by Mr. Kellar in 1912, on the subject Three Secrets of Success for Magicians. Here, at last, is advice on how to win success in magic, written by a man who himself had actually done it!See
