A rare survivor from the 1940s, this vintage magician’s booklet offers 102 startling tricks designed to entertain, mystify, and amaze. Published by David Robbins, New York, in 1944, it provides a glimpse into the mid-century world of parlour magic and sleight-of-hand artistry.
Each trick is fully illustrated and requires no special apparatus, making it as accessible today as it was for aspiring magicians of the WWII era. The striking cover art captures the bold energy of mid-century design, while the back cover features the stamp of Mehr’s Novelty Shop, Birmingham, Alabama—a charming piece of regional Americana.
