From the introduction:

A spot of “juggling” has always been a safe bet as an interesting “change-of-pace” for the magician, particularly where he is presenting a long programme. “The Eggs And Glasses” has proved this point with its recent popularity (or “revived popularity”) with both magicians and their audiences. The feat was hardly seen for a decade or so, then came a wave of popularity for the feat when it was discovered that “no skill was required” … just confidence and “knack”.

In the same category is the feat of spinning a glass of liquid, either on a hoop or “harness”. But this feat now has a slight “edge” on that with the eggs and glasses, because it is seldom seen, and almost never performed by magicians. (At the time of writing that is … but the issue of this manuscript may change all that!) In my opinion, it is even easier to perform than the Eggs And Glasses … certainly less exacting … there being a pretty wide margin for error.

In these pages, I will tell you exactly how to do the “trick” (and I use the word in the juggling sense) and also how to PRESENT it.”

In the manuscript you will find well-explained everything you need to perform this interesting and spectacular “trick”. The illustrations will make it all clear. You will also find ideas on silent presentation and a humorous patter.
