First Edition, 12mo, (xii), 154 pp. including the initial license leaf, with the contemporary bookplate of John Trotter, Edinburgh Lawyer, clean tear in A4 (no loss), generally a little browned, contemporary sheep, a little worn, lower joint slightly tender. The first of at least nine editions of this popular little book of secrets. The last dozen pages comprise "A miscellany of rare and curious secrets not yet toucht upon," and "Another miscellany of rare and curious experiments, useful and profitable, and altogether pleasant." These include such tricks and illusions as "To cause water to ascend," "To carry a jug... sticking without anything, unto the palm of the hand," "To break a stick upon the rim of two glasses, and not break the glasses," "How to make water boil and sparkle," "To make Letters that will soon vanish," how to achieve a strike-out at nine-pins, and the way to find out "any number under 10, being thought upon." This seventeenth-century first edition is rare, all later editions were published in the eighteenth-century. Wing locates copies at BL, Durham, NYPL, Free Library, Folger and Yale, to which the ESTC adds Illinois. Toole-Stott adds the copies owned by Dr. Grossman and Harold Adrian Smith (the latter now at Brown University). A very good copy, with Trotter's contemporary purchase note on the endpaper: "Cost twelve pence from Rot. Allane Bookseller & binder in Edro. [i.e. Edinburgh] 10. Octo. 96." Trotter has added page numbers to the title-page to form a sort of table of contents. John White went on to publish "Hocus Pocus: or, a Rich Cabinet of Legerdemain...", c. 1710.

192182770London: Will Goldston Ltd 1921. Limited Edition. No statement of edition or printing; numbered 811 of an unspecified number of copies. Small quarto. Publisher's green cloth titled in gilt to spine; marbled endpapers; 490pp; illus. A crisp clean copy with faint handsoil to binding just lightly rubbed at board edges and spine ends very fresh and tight within; Very Good to Near Fine. Laid in as found are four leaflets ca. 1930s advertising products from the London purveyor of magic props L. Davenport & Co.<br /> <br /> We note that there was a simultaneous deluxe issue in red morocco and a locking clasp uniform with Goldston's other two books in the "Exclusive Secrets" trilogy. This cloth issue though less elaborate appears to be the scarcer of the two bindings. A very nice copy of this classic of modern conjuring literature surprisingly scarce and often found well-worn.

193382750Pasadena Ca: For The Author 1933. First Edition. Quarto. 35cm. Publisher's maroon cloth boards titled in gilt to front board. 46pp. Internally clean light spotting to prelims fore-edge untrimmed; Light wear and bumping to extremities dulling of the cheap gilt and some darkening and soiling to the cloth; strong and solid a very good copy. Internally clean with the bookplate of Jim Ellis to the front flyleaf and a florid inscription to the facing blank: "To Jim Ellis from his friend Jack Getrich."<br /> <br /> A rather typically extravagant collection of stage magic tips tricks and techniques from Larsen Sr. the father of the intensely prolific William "Bill" Larsen Jr. and the origin of much of his stagecraft and "Impresario to the rich and famous" persona. It's probably fair to say that the Larsen's were one of the USA's most influential and long standing magical dynasties. <br /> <br /> The recipient is easy enough to identify; Jimmie Ellis one time President of the Kudner Advertising Agency in New York single-handedly responsible for the rise of the Buick Automobile Co. and widely acclaimed as a major figure in the 1950's US advertising world. Kudner were solely responsible for Buick advertising throughout the heyday of the company under Ellis's direction. A life long Republican Ellis was also instrumental in securing the popular vote for Eisenhower. For The Author unknown
