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 books

14530Collection of 2 Vintage Optical Lantern images of Iran circa 1905. 3 1/4" x 4." The first photo shows a few hundred people attending a funeral with over twenty people standing in the trees. In the foreground musicians hold tubas and flutes. It is rare to find images of this era with musicians and their instruments. The men in the photo are wearing Qajar-era clothing including long tunics with astrakhan hats and most have beards. The second image shows a man being exposed to a public foot whipping as punishment for a crime. The accused is lying on his back with his feet tied up at an angle to a horizontal post. Men surround around him holding canes including one extended out and resting on the accused's feet. The men are all dressed in traditional Qajar-era clothing including trousers waistcoats sardaris and astrakhan hats. These are positives on a glass lantern Gelatin silver bromide. In 1850 William and Frederick Langenheim invented a transparent positive image of a photograph in the form of a glass slide that could be projected onto a wall or screen using a Magic Lantern. Magic lanterns provided one of the most popular forms of entertainment during their heyday in the 18th and 19th centuries. Using an artificial light source and a combination of lenses these devices enlarged small transparency images or miniature models and projected them onto a wall or screen. Scarce and in very good condition. unknown books
