1855AQ33661Hartford Connecticut: Calhoun Steam Printing Co. 1855. Single leaf broadside. With blank spaces left for insertion of location time and day of performance. A trifle creased several small holes. A provincially published American broadside advertising an evening of preeminent prestidigitation presented by Connectican multipotentialite Albert Walker 1836-1902. Born in Glastonbury to a family of agricultural labourers Walker entertained a multifarious variety of vocations and enthusiasms including but not limited to cutlery manufacture clock cleaning wagon repair cock-fighting and horse racing. He maintained a life-long passion for magic and ventriloquism constructing his own props for use in performances across the state throughout the mid-nineteenth century. Designed - as evidenced by the blank spaces - to be used in multiple locations with the time date and location to be completed in manuscript this broadside nevertheless is not short on detail of the programme involving sleight of hand 'feats of natural magic' a Punch and Judy performance and Walker's 'celebrated nose amputation'.

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
