Contemporary Handkerchief Magic - Part Two

Author: 
Fulves, Karl

Pagination picks up from where Part One left off.

From the introduction to Part One, by Karl Fulves:
Handkerchief magic can be divided into two categories. First are those tricks where the handkerchief plays a passive role, its use being to cover or conceal. The second category is the “pure” handkerchief trick where handkerchiefs are the major items of apparatus. Examples of both types of handkerchief magic can be found in this ms.
