I just recieved my eBay purchase! It's an old delicate book titles "The Parlor Book of Magic and Drawingroom Entertainments." It's a great book with some old effects and descriptions to such magic as: the Miser's Dream, Swallowing Needles and Thread, and Vanishing ring....appears tied around a canary's neck....the canary is produced from an egg! The book was published by Hurst & Co. out of NY in 1889.
The back of the book contains a couple pages of other books offered by the publisher. Such books as: "The Art of Ventriloquism" "Nepoleon's Draculum and Complete Book of Fate" "Fortune-Teller and Dream Book" ..can be purchased for a mere 15 cents! (at that time) It's in "okay" condition; however, it is another great addition to my collection! Bryan |

Great Bryan! Sounds like a cool book. I just received my copy of Professor Hoffmann's "More Magic". There is something neat about an old book.
Happy Reading Robert G. |
