Description

book is considered by many to be the best book ever written about close-up magic and features some of the best creations from the leading magicians of the first half of the 20th century. Originally released by Stars of Magic, Inc. as separate manuscripts that sold in the 1940s and 1950s for around $5 each, they were later bound in a hardcover edition by Louis Tannen, Inc. The rights to the monumental work were later purchased by D. Robbins & Co. and in September 2003, Meir Yedid Magic acquired the rights to the original and current editions. In 2008, MyMagic released a deluxe edition that many considered to be the ultimate and most beautiful version of the book. This 2017 edition is a no-frills paperback you can feel comfortable taking notes in and carrying with you instead of admiring, worshiping and collecting. It is geared toward the workers and students of magic.
