Impromptu Conjuring

Impromptu Conjuring is one of the finest classic guides to performing astonishing magic with ordinary everyday objects.

Written by respected magician Will Blyth, this timeless collection proves that great magic doesn’t depend on expensive props or complicated sleight of hand. Using items found around the home—including matchboxes, corks, string, pencils, knives, coins, dice and rings—you’ll learn dozens of entertaining feats that can be performed almost anywhere, often at a moment’s notice.

Originally published in 1924, Blyth’s practical approach makes this an ideal companion for beginners discovering the art of magic, while experienced performers will appreciate the wealth of forgotten routines, ingenious principles and classic presentations that remain just as effective today.

This special Hey Presto edition faithfully reproduces the complete original text while enhancing it for modern readers. Beautifully remastered illustrations, improved readability, historical notes and a new author biography help place this influential work in its proper context without altering the original material.

Whether you’re entertaining friends, performing at a party or simply fascinated by the history of conjuring, Impromptu Conjuring remains an inspiring collection of practical magic that demonstrates how extraordinary entertainment can be created from the simplest of everyday objects.
