An original blurb read: Tragic Magic containing original magical sketches, tricks, some humour, and many interesting items that will grip you.
From The Sphinx: And here is another one that awakens my cereberzation - Harry Leat's Tragic Magic. Here is a book of 122 pages of the queerest conglomeration of sense and non-sense, good magic and irrelative matter - yet relating to magic - that has yet crossed my rugged editorial path. The table of contents lists 42 items, and I advise the purchaser of the book not to skip a single one of them. I do not know why the book is named Tragic Magic, for the magic it contains is far from tragic; it is live and wholesome. "The Vanishing Pail of Water" out Hovens Van Hoven, and would be a scream in his hands.... All of Harry Leat's books are worth possession and reading, and Tragic Magic is not the least by any means.
1st edition, 1925, Harry Leat, London; 122 pages.
