About this Item

Generically signed and dated in the year of publication by co-author JOHN MULHOLLAND on the front flyleaf: "Sincerely yours / John Mulholland / 1925" With the bookplate of noted magic builder Leslie C. Smith (Owen Magic Supreme) affixed to the front paste down. A good copy but with some light foxing to top edge of text block. Rubbing to some of the white decoration on front board including the rabbit image. Original green cloth. No jacket. This 134 page book, though aimed at amateurs will be of interest to more advanced magic students because of the history in the first chapter and the unusual nature of the tricks taught. They are not in the cookie-cutter mold of most beginner books. For example, there is an interesting chapter on "The Cane of the Jadoo-Wallah" relating an authentic mystery from India.

Shipping Terms

SHIPPING CHARGES: Please note that about 13.5% of the shipping and handling charge is retained by AbeBooks as a fee levied against the bookseller and not passed along for purchasing postage and packaging supplies. That is much of the reason why the shipping charge is significantly higher than actual postage costs. This is especially true for international shipping where international postal costs are high to begin with. Occasionally (such as when ordering a set of books) it will be necessary for us to ask domestic buyers for some additional shipping funds. In this case, after confirming your book(s) is available, we will ask AbeBooks to request appropriate additional shipping charges. In practice, this is a rare occurrence on domestic orders. See below for international shipping. PACKING: All books will be carefully packed to insure safe arrival. We use either quality shipping boxes or other shipping containers augmented by bubble, paper cushioning, or cardboard chipboard to insure safe delivery in the same condition as book was sent. INTERNATIONAL ORDERS: Our default shipping cost is for shipping in a flat rate global priority envelope, small box, or flat rate bag. If your book is too large or too expensive to ship in these containers we will be asking AbeBooks to request adequate additional funds so we can ship your book safely and securely. All international shipments will be listed as books-merchandise on customs forms with value as actual invoice cost. No exceptions. If you have any concerns, please contact us via e mail prior to placing an order for an accurate shipping quotation.
