Karteizetteltasche GebrauchsmusterGünther DammannDiese Gebrauchsmusteranmeldung hat nur am Rande mit der Zauberkunst zu tun. Günther Dammann hat wahrscheinlich diese Karteizetteltasche für die Arbeit an seinem Buch Zauberkunst und Zauberkünstler entwickelt und sich seine Errungenschaft in 1934 schützen lassen. Ein Gebrauchsmuster kommt einem Patent nahe. Es hat aber eine kürzere Laufzeit und die Bedingungen ein Gebrauchsmuster anzumelden sind geringer als bei einem Patent. Das Gebrauchsmuster wird daher manchmal auch das 'kleine Patent' genannt. Erstausgabe 1934; PDF 4 Seiten. | $4 to wish list | |

Lessons in MagicHenry HattonFor the time this was published, in the middle of the 19th century, these twelve lessons in magic are probably one of the best instructions in conjuring published in the English language, even though the intended reading audience was young folks. Professor Hoffmann's Modern Magic is still a decade into the future. Henry Hatton, writing here under his real name Patrick Henry Cannon, describes a range of stage and parlor effects including some sleight-of-hand with coins and cards. His description of the pass is by far the best description I have read prior to Erdnase - almost 40 years prior that is! The accompanying... | $12 to wish list | |

Tricks that MystifyWill GoldstonExcerpt from the introduction: In this book I deal with the latest and best small tricks. The majority of the professional conjurers to-day are presenting small tricks in their programmes. I have been asked by subscribers not to include illusions requiring stage traps, but to confine myself to secrets of tricks that can be done by the average performer, and the apparatus not to be costly. I have taken care to meet with the wishes of all subscribers to this book. I have omitted complicated tricks and combinations likely to fog an audience. The magician to-day understands that he must be... | $9.50 to wish list | |
Triplets 8Gregg WebbThis edition features a completely different routine for MacDonald's Aces and a simple way to make the gaffs yourself. This is more of a platform or parlor version and not a close-up trick. The patter and presentation are also completely different from MacDonald's Aces. This is also different from the version in Hilliard's Lost Notebook. Gregg performed this on TV in 1968 long before Hilliard's notebook was even found. If you pride yourself on being different from the crowd, you'll love this. A very catchy storyline and premise is included. Next follows many updates on a trick of Gregg's,... | $4.95 to wish list | |

CAN 21Raphaël CzajaThe magician spreads a shuffled deck in front of two spectators. Spectator 1 selects one card and remembers it. Spectator 2 does the same. Both of them thoroughly shuffle the deck and cut it in two halves. The magician loses one card in each pile and gathers the deck. While the spectators cut the deck multiple times, the magician writes a prediction and tables it face down, in full view. For the first selection, the magician says he was inspired by the 21-Card Trick. He deals the cards in three piles and asks Spectator 1 to give him the pile where his card lies. The magician removes one card... | $5 to wish list | |

Who's Who in MagicWill GoldstonThere are not many short biography compilations in magic and this one by Goldston is still one that is being consulted frequently. The most extensive one is by Bart Whaley (Who's Who in Magic) but while Whaley covers many more magicians he does not include portraits. Goldston includes many portraits of magicians and his biographical sketches can sometimes be much more extensive than in other such compilations. Goldston groups magicians as professionals, semi-professionals, and amateurs. He covers 90 professional magicians, 50 semi-professional magicians, and 69 amateurs. 1st edition 1934, 114 pages; PDF... | $20 to wish list | |
