Magical revelations : a book of exceptional magic
Merbak, who in private life is perhaps better known as J. Albert Briggs, is undoubtedly the outstanding figure in Australian Magic.
For more than twenty years he has been a prolific writer on magical subjects; our leading manufacturer of tricks and illusions; and a performer whose entertainments are the last word in surprise and novelty.
When I read the MSS. of this volume I did not imagine there could be so many good things left to divulge, and I am sure readers will agree with me that the title of the book is well chosen.
I have personally seen Merbak perform many of the tricks described in this book, and so completely mystifying were they, that the simple explanations are indeed a revelation. In commending the volume to the magical fraternity, I do so in the hope that it will be the forerunner of many others from his pen. For, Merbak's knowledge of Magic is so extensive, that it is like a well that never runs dry.
