Description

A pre-owned book. First edition, 1944. Soft covers, staple bound, 52 pages. Eighteen great effects described in detail and then explained in a separate section.

The sole distributor of this book in the day was the Abbott Magic Novelty Company.

This book was apparently packaged where the first half of the book could be browsed, but the second half was sealed since it contained the secrets. This book is also included in Abbott Magic Company’s compilation “Bag O’ Trix, edited by Gordon Miller.
