 Review | The Art of Modern Conjuring by Professor Henri Garenne

I have written this work not as an exposure of the art of Conjuring and Magic, but simply to act as a guide for amateurs and young beginners; therefore I shall enumerate many tricks and illusions that my young friends can perform at home amongst their numerous friends.

This book tells you some conjuring tricks (how they supposedly appear before the audience) used by who and when but it does not provide adequate information sufficient to know how to perform the tricks.

The history and art of conjuring is ultimately the story of people.

Historical and reference works on the art and history of conjuring and kindred subjects, along with other artifacts of magic and popular culture, will be displayed in Magick, History, and Culture, including sets and playthings which owe their inspiration to conjuring and magic.

Said's work might be considered "decorative painting in its baroque meaning" concludes Azar.
Certainly Said simplifies mass as much as he identifies types, relishing solid effects while at the same time allowing the most obvious signifiers to disintegrate in a chromatic conjuring trick.
He manages, too, to approximate a version of that peculiarly extenuated eroticism -- a complex mixture of repression and desire -- that informs a so much of the painting of the Italian baroque.
