| Summary | "Water Wizardry: A Collection of Tricks in Which Water Is the Chief Agent" by Arthur Ainslie is a practical guide on magic tricks centered around the use of water, likely written in the early 20th century. The book features a variety of entertaining and easy-to-learn tricks that anyone can perform at gatherings, which makes it ideal for amateur magicians looking to impress friends and family. Ainslie provides detailed instructions and tips to ensure that these tricks lead to successful performances, engaging both children and adults alike. At the start of the text, Ainslie introduces a series of simple water tricks designed for informal performances. One notable trick, "The Impossible," involves three glasses and a piece of paper, leading the audience to believe that a half-full glass can balance on a paper bridge. Ainslie includes clever setups and humorous dialogues to set the scene, encouraging amateur conjurers to rehearse their acts before performing. This opening not only showcases the author's insightful methods but also establishes a light-hearted and engaging tone that sets the stage for the delightful tricks that follow.
