Magical MixtureTom SellersFrom the preface: I wish to take this opportunity of correcting the impression of some of the younger magicians, who think that I am a professional magician and dealer. Such is not the case. I am not and never have been. I am just a humble conjurer, who practices magic and works for a living (no joke intended).

Latest MagicProfessor HoffmannLatest Magic is the last book in Hoffmann's series Modern Magic, More Magic and Later Magic. Hoffmann had quite some problem finding a publisher for this book. The reason being the quality of the contents. When Modern Magic came out it explained new tricks and tricks which were performed at the time. Thus it was indeed 'modern'. It is also without a doubt the best book in the series. Latest Magic describes Hoffmann's own creations and dealt with a magic which was already considered old fashioned. From a historical perspective it still makes quite an interesting read. 1st edition, 1918, Spon & Chamberlain, New York; 2nd edition, 1919; 222... | ★★★★★ $6 to wish list | |
Magical TitbitsProfessor HoffmannAfter writing Later Magic, Professor Hoffmann intended to follow it with a fourth book. However, advancing age and other engagements compelled him to abandon it. Nevertheless he wrote this volume, which is not really a part of his trilogy, but functioned as a place to put the material he already collected. A few Hartz items in this book have been already dealt with in Later Magic. Otherwise the contents is new. It is interesting to note that although Hoffmann writes in the preface to Magical Titbits that he abandoned the book which should have followed Later Magic, he authored in 1918 a book called Latest Magic which according to the... | ★★★★★ $6 to wish list | |

Magic Annual 1938-1939 (Hugard's Annual of Magic)Jean HugardThe second and last book in the Magic Annual series Jean Hugard wrote for Max Holden. (Also consider the first volume Magic Annual 1937.)

It is a volume of 126 pages (137 minus 11, since the text begins on page 11), and has good illustrations by Nelson Hahne, good paper, good printing, and a good-looking cover of blue, gold-stamped fabrikoid. Like the earlier Annual, it deals with sleights and tricks in several branches of conjuring.
