#149 of 600 numbered copies. Book appears unread, with a magic-shop stamp to front endpaper; unclipped (35/-) DJ shows light wear to edges and corners; staining to back cover; spine slightly toned. "For many years there has been a real need amongst the magical fraternity, for a book of this nature. Until now, no work has been produced which bridges the gap between books of easy card tricks without skill, and the books of advanced card magic, most of which presuppose a knowledge of basic sleights and subtleties. We are therefore proud to present this book, in which for the first time have been assembled all the sleights, methods and subtleties essential to the successful practice of card magic in all its stages." 298 pages.

Store description
Hi all! I've been accumulating volumes for well over half my life, mostly autographed and inscribed copies. Wrote a book on book collecting for a Random House imprint in 2004 and another, "Book Collecting Now: The Value of Print in a Digital Age," for Chatwin Books, published in 2019. I intended to keep most of these books forever, but my wife and I decided to move to Manhattan, which meant downsizing from an enormous suburban house, with practically unlimited bookshelf space, to an apartment in Greenwich Village. So hello, AbeBooks!…

Terms of sale
If I've mischaracterized a book, please let me know, and I'm happy to accept returns for refunds.
Shipping terms
Orders usually ship within three business days. I generally pack books in boxes, with padding, and unless they're unusually bulky or heavy -- more than four pounds or so -- I won't ask for additional shipping costs. For domestic media-mail buyers, anyway. Prices for international and even priority shipping can get *insane*.
