CHUNG LING SOO -full-page photograph / John Kenyon "'Twists On Tricks'" / Peter a McDonald "Talking About Magic" / Oswald Rae "Magicians I Have Met - E A Ford" / Patrick Playfair "The Self-Raising Flower" John Nevil Maskelyne (22 December 1839 - 18 May 1917) was an English stage magician and inventor of the pay toilet, along with many other Victorian-era devices. Working with magicians George Alfred Cooke and David Devant, many of his illusions are still performed today. [Davenport's and Maskelynes at L. Davenport & Co.,] Ira Erastus Davenport (September 17, 1839 - July 8, 1911) and William Henry Davenport (February 1, 1841 - July 1, 1877), known as the Davenport Brothers, were American magicians in the late 19th century, sons of a Buffalo, New York policeman. The brothers presented illusions that they and others claimed to be supernatural. (VM10).

4to (190 x 232 mm). German manuscript, brown ink on paper. 2 parts in one volume: Title, 25 pp. Title, 26 pp., with an incomplete table of contents on the inside of the lower cover. With numerous pen-and-ink sketches and tables, some lightly coloured in red. Contemporary pink half cloth over marbled boards with handwritten label (as quoted) to upper cover. Highly interesting manuscript collection of magic tricks, divided into two parts: card tricks ("Der Kartenkünstler oder 50 leichte Kartenkunststücke") and physical, chemical, sleight-of-hand, and mnemonic tricks ("Physikalische-, Chemische- und Geschwindigkeits-Kunstücke [!] und Memotechnik [!]"). In spite of the title, the first part contains only 31 tricks, with a final number "32" showing that more were to follow before this collection was abandoned. The second part contains 37 effects, including such tricks as "Bosco's famous ball game", "The dead crab", "How to spirit a dollar through the surface of a table", "How to make a coin invisible in one's palm", "The magical Quodlibet", several rope and knot tricks, as well as a joke item: "How to eat three pieces of sugar and then spirit them under a hat" (namely by putting the hat on one's head). - Binding somewhat rubbed. Occasional slight brownstaining; the final few pages are supplied in a different handwriting. Numerous illustrations explain the knots and loops described.

Fourth Edition. 180 x 114 mm. (7 x 4 5/8"). 154 pp, [1] leaf. 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. 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.
