Slight wear to spine, covers & corners. ; Eddie Joseph (1899-1974) was a full-time professional performer, teacher and writer on things magical. A Baghdadi Jew from Calcutta, he lived most of his life in India. At eighteen, he became a part-time professional and remained so until 1945 when he became a full-time professional performer, teacher and writer. He was chosen to appear in the Silver Jubillee Show for King George V. He was also the first magician to do magic over the radio in India in 1933, making over 30 broadcasts from the All India Radio stations in Calcutta, Bombay and Lucknow. He had worked out an act in which he used no apparatus except ordinary and borrowed objects. He also did a mental act assisted by his wife, Sarah. For many years, Joseph was the Indian Representative of the I. B. M. And he was active in the Society of Indian Magicians. During World War II, he was drafted to do a turn in a revue for the entertainment of British and American servicemen. He and his wife traveled all over India for the balance of the war. It's been said that he tried to invent one new trick every day. He wrote over 70 books and pamphlets and contributed many articles to Genii and The New Tops. Joseph's first contribution to The Linking Ring was in the September, 1927 issue. The IBM Ring in Bombay, India is known as the Eddie Joseph Ring. Later he moved to England, working for Max Andrews. He passed away there in June 1974. ; Octavo; 350 pages. Seller Inventory # LCB60351
