Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Very good with slight fading to cloth along spine. Normal toning to paper of this age. Lacking dust jacket. No prior owner markings, no underlining, no highlighting. No bookplate. A seminal work of 20th century conjuring written by an amateur magician who was an accountant by profession. Often disparaged due to a persistent rumor (popularized by Dai Vernon in his Vernon Touch column in Genii magazine) that the material in the book was not Kaplan's own creation, but instead that of S. Leo Horowitz aka Mohammed Bey. The fact is, a rebuttal to the Vernon Touch column appeared in a subsequent issue of Genii, but is seldom cited. Further evidence supporting Mr. Kaplan's side exists but has not yet been made public. 341 pages. Francis J. Rigney (illustrator).…

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. The Fine Art of Magic, by George G. Kaplan, is an entirely new, thoroughly American work. It is the outcome of twenty years or more of analysis, invention, and actual presentation of magic by Mr. Kaplan, whose ingenious feats and striking improvements have aroused the wonder and admiration of many of our best-informed experts. It is, in a very real sense of the term, the "life work" of a man who, though not a professional conjurer, has obviously given an enormous amount of study to the art of magic and made important contributions to its practice by devising new principles, new ways of employing old ones, and some very fine wholly new effects. The present release of this material to the conjuring fraternity must be credited largely to Jean Hugard, who persuaded Mr. Kaplan that the book should be written and agreed to serve as its editor. Book (cover & pages) in Very Condition, with clean text. Dust jacket in Poor Condition with tears and partial detachment.…
