This volume is divided into four parts: Paper Tricks (23 tricks); Paper Folding (7 tricks); Paper Tearing (11 tricks); and finally Paper Puzzles (16 tricks). Most, if not all, are illustrated with "how-to" diagrams. Houdini's Pager Magic is written as though Houdini dictated it directly to the reader, as if he was explaining a magic trick to someone sitting across his dining room table.
