Parlor Problems or Mental Mathematical Magic by Preston Langley Hickey (Revised Edition)Parlor Problems
or Mental Mathematical Magic
by Preston Langley Hickey

A slim book, yet it contains some of the most entertaining effects with numbers ever devised.

A book devoted to an entirely different branch of magical entertainment that, prior to its release, had never been published before.

This book opens up a new and unique field to any entertainer. Any person of average intelligence can perform the various effects.

No apparatus necessary, except for a blackboard, white board or flip chart and a writing utensil. With this book, anyone can produce both laughter and surprise and create a riot at any evening party with the most startling effects in lightning calculation and brain teasery.

Not a rehash. The contents, as far as the author could establish, had never before appeared in either book or magazine.

Written to be a book for the ages, its contents will still be practical 100 years from now. Recommended for magicians, mentalists, business people, sales staff, trainers, public speakers, and anyone who makes professional presentations.
