This manual is not intended to be: (1) A complete course in magic. (2) Original

After the course was taught a number of times, it was decided that some type of notes were needed for the student to review at practice sessions. This manual fulfills that requirement.

Our magic course is not intended to be original. What is original is our ideas on basic objectives which should be taught in such a course. Many of the tricks have appeared in print elsewhere. A bibliography is included and all known references will be made. Many authors and magicians have many excellent tricks, but not all of these tricks fulfilled the course objectives. 

The tricks described in this manual include a routine. One is encouraged to adapt their own routine to fit their personality. This manual is to serve only as a review guide.
