It was first published in October 1900 and ran for 177 issues with a break during the 1914-1918 war and the final issue was published in June 1920.\"\r\n\r\nThe magic in Stanyon's Magic was cutting edge for its time.  But modern day magic tricks STILL use the basic principles laid out in Magic.  Here you'll find basic sleight of hand with cards and coins, as well as some of the methods mediums and spiritualists used to fool their callers."}, "last_modified": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2012-05-28T05:20:10.024763"}, "title": "Magic", "created": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2009-12-11T07:27:27.588704"}, "covers": [7127461, 5990309], "first_publish_date": "1901", "latest_revision": 6, "key": "/works/OL12655754W", "authors": [{"type": {"key": "/type/author_role"}, "author": {"key": "/authors/OL5648225A"}}], "subject_times": ["1903"], "type": {"key": "/type/work"}, "subjects": ["Accessible book", "magic tricks", "sleight of hand", "illusions"], "revision": 6}
