The ending result is an audience that only gets parts of their show. The cheap $400 magicians shut out part of their audience. They do not allow the entire audience to listen to what they say. And they have serious... | $10 to wish list | |

Abbott Magic Catalog #22Recil BordnerThe catalog gives a date of 1976, but that is the same date as #21, which means they probably forgot to change it. Most likely this catalog was published in the early 1980s. The latest date mentioned anywhere in the catalog is 1981. My best guess therefore is that this catalog was released in 1981 or 1982. 1st edition 198?, 448 pages. | $10 to wish listPDF_facsimile | |
