Item Details

Description

Believed to be one of the first Tarbell Course in Magic complete works from the 1st half of the 20th century. This was a first attempt at the correspondence course which was later turned into a regular book series form. It is an in-depth course on how magic tricks are done, and what it takes to be a successful magician. The course was supposed to be written by Harry Houdini who died write before the course was going to be produced (1926). We have never seen another one, or can we find any records on such a complete early edition! Condition is Good. The cover binding is fair with holding screws replaced.
