1795ST20614Venice: Giuseppe Orlandelli 1795. Fourth Edition. 180 x 114 mm. 7 x 4 5/8". 154 pp 1 leaf. <br/> Pedestrian 19th century half vellum over pink marbled paper boards smooth spine with old ink lettering. WITH 16 ENGRAVED PLATES SHOWING MAGIC TRICKS and numerous diagrams in the text. Tomash & Williams A56; Riccardi I 15. Marbled paper a little chafed title washed first and last leaf a bit soiled and with repairs at inner and outer margins but no text affected half a dozen other leaves with minor repairs or mounted isolated small smudges or corner creases but still an acceptable copy of a book expected to be found in poor shape--the text clean the impression of the engravings crisp and the binding solid.<br/> <br/> This is a pleasing copy of a rather scarce collection of mathematical puzzles magic tricks and illusions abounding with illustrations and diagrams. Our author Bolognese architect and engineer Giuseppe Antonio Alberti 1712-68 had a varied career which is reflected in his literary output: his publications discuss civil engineering pyrotechnics mathematics and factories among other topics. Described by Tomash and Williams as "the type of book that mischievous uncles like to own" the present work begins with a study of amusing and unusual arithmetic equations and puzzles before discussing magic tricks and illusions including card tricks dice games and even complex stage illusions involving specialized equipment. These are illustrated with a series of delightful copper engravings with labelled mechanisms sometimes operated by lively little figures or disembodied hands with ruffled sleeves. "Giuochi" was first published in Bologna in 1747 and remained in print for a further 20 years after the present edition. Because this is the kind of book that would have been subjected to uncareful use early editions are difficult to find in the attractive condition seen here. Giuseppe Orlandelli unknown

1833ST12867New York: N. C. Nafis 1833. 144 x 85 mm. 5 5/8 x 3 3/8". 71 pp. <br/> PUBLISHER'S ORIGINAL GRAY-GREEN PRINTED BOARDS upper cover with titling and an illustration of a gentleman identified as the author lower cover with two amusing woodcuts "The Lawyer and his Client" a bewigged gentleman astride an ass and "Hocus Poke-us" two boys fighting. In a brown cloth chemise and a slightly rubbed matching calf-backed slipcase. With a folding frontispiece depicting a conjurer and his assistant onstage before an amazed crowd. Toole-Stott 724. ◆Small stains at top and bottom of spine covers just slightly grubby endpapers a bit browned text with light inoffensive foxing but for what it is AN UNUSUALLY FINE COPY the fragile binding entirely sound and the text remarkably fresh and clean.<br/> <br/> Given the materials it was made from and the hard use it would have been expected to suffer this is an exceptionally well-preserved copy of a popular handbook of conjuring tricks an early American edition of a work first compiled in 1722 by the British magician Henry Dean. Dean's work was itself based on Reginald Scot's influential "Discoverie of Witchcraft" 1584 which sought to discredit belief in "supernatural" forces by exposing the tricks by which conjurers deceived their audience. In the publications of Dean and subsequent editors this exposé of witchcraft evolved into a guide for performing parlor tricks. Our edition is a reprint or reissue of the 1831 version published by R. Schoyer; because the word "renowned" is spelled "renowed" on both title pages Toole-Stott speculates that Nafis bought sheets from Schoyer suggesting that our item would have been a reissue. These insubstantial guide books typically experienced considerable uncareful use in the hands of amateur and often juvenile magicians; consequently the few copies that do appear on the market are in deplorable shape.

19778860San Diego CA: Chuck Martinez 1977. First Edition. Original wraps. Near Fine. 6 3/4 X 8 1/2 Inches. 134 PP. Paul Harris is widely regarded as one of the most influential creators in modern magic celebrated for his ability to transform simple props into moments of profound astonishment. He is widely known as the mentor of magician David Blaine. Harris pioneered effects that emphasize emotional impact over spectacle encouraging magicians to focus on connection rather than complexity. His writings reshaped how magicians think about wonder itself presenting magic as an experience that shifts perception instead of just a trick. Harris's inventions have become staples in close-up magic and his philosophical approach continues to inspire performers who want their magic to feel organic human and genuinely surprising.<br /> <br /> Original comb-bound first edition. Signed and inscribed by Harris on the first page. A few blemishes but a very attractive copy overall. Chuck Martinez unknown
