lick has disposed of his mail route to

three years Edward Reno has been
a magician and in that time he has
travelled all over the world, includ-
ing India, Syria and Egypt. Reno
is constantly inventing new things
in magic and illusions, also in for
eign lands he picked up many things
not known to many professionals.
Magic, like everything else, has pro-

the past few years. Never was there
a better demand for up-to-date il
lusions and sleight of hand than
now, but there is no room nowadays
for anyone who does not keep
strictly abreast of the profession.
