The Restored Card.The Flying Grain in which the assistant is frightend out of his mother wit. Suprising dexterity with Cards. The Flight of Rice.Prince Alladin's Glass or Chant of Electric Silver. This is a beautiful fear. -In this glass a piece of silver will dance and keep time with any tune played by the Orchester even when held by one of the audience'. The quotes reprinting 'opinions of the press' to the foot of this playbill provide the date. In 1858 at Worcester a reporter from the Munroe Democrat noted that 'On last saturday and Monday A.

1947D10934America 1947. Cloth-covered 3-ring binder American manufactured covers illustrated in black marker with drawings of top-hats an ace of spades an eight ball faces names and maxims "Flunk Early Avoid the Rush" "Here's Your Hat What's Your Hurry". The inside front cover bears our author's name "Budd Leader Sophomore 1st half" as well as a cloud of girls' names Joan Ginger Darlene Sally Betty Roberta et al perhaps referring to his lovely assistants -- women who put birds back in their cages who comforted newly hatless rabbits who were sawn in half or who otherwise gave themselves to magic. This distinctly American binder is bursting with 382 tricks handwritten in ink in tidy script on lined paper most of them accompanied by careful pencil drawings demonstrations of steps and techniques on small leaves of onion skin paper stapled to the trick they describe. Extremities bumped and cloth a bit frayed; boards warped see aforementioned "bursting" I wasn't joking with a few small spots of soiling. Top ring of binder doesn't close all the way ahem bursting so a few pages have come loose but could be easily reinforced if one were so inclined. Contents are bright and clean perfectly legible pleasing to behold and -- one assumes -- hitherto privileged information. <br/><br/>Includes tricks with cards rope dice balloons sleights of hand mind reading break-away cabinets and so much more. Though some of the illusions strike this cataloguer as enticingly practical "How to be Marvelous without Skill" "The Vanishing Alarm Clock" many of the illusions seem quite advanced and particular to the world of magic "Second Sight Extraordinary" "Mind Signals" "You Do As I Do". Though little can be found on Budd Leader now he was clearly a high school student of some talent and considerable dedication. A quintessential distinct volume. Remarkable. hardcover
