From Tom Craven's introduction:
"What you'll find in this book covers a lifetime of magic of mine. I tried to put everything I'd come up with in here, but obviously, I know there are some missing items. Just about everything that has been in print before is here, but there are some that were never in print that have been lost or forgotten."
