n.p. n.d.c.a. 1890]. Small octavo (5 1/2 x 3 3/4 inches; 140 x 95 mm). This copy in contemporary illustrated black wrappers. Internally all plates very clean and bright. Inside wrappers with instructions in German, French, English, Spanish, Italian and Russian. A beautiful copy of a magical blow book or flip book (also known as…a magic coloring book). This type of trick is considered the oldest example of a "manufactured prop" to be used for magic. It works by a series of small notches, or incisions in the fore-margin to create tabs, (five tabs in this case) and depending on where the magician places their thumb, they flip the leaves of a certain group, revealing one set of plates. Then with a movement of the finger placement, a new set of plates will be revealed. Complete with a total of 49 plates on 28 leaves. Many of the plates are in beautiful color with sharp detail. The plates include a animals such as a lion, zebra, tiger and pig. Some musical scores, a few alphabets in various scripts, silhouettes and various characters and scenes among others.

An attractive piece of juvenile ephemera, printed in black on one side of a piece of 23.5 x 36.5 cm wove paper. In good condition, folded twice. The document is excessively scarce, no other copy having been traced, and little has been learnt about the advertiser. In 1919 Punch carried an advertisement for 'Punch and Judy, Conjur…ing, Ventriloquism, &c.' from 'James Portland, the Conjuror and Children's Entertainer'. Four years later the 'Model Engineer' carried several advertisements from Portland as a supplier of ebonite. The illustration is drawn in Edwardian style, with cherubs at the top corners holding up a banner that reads 'One Hour of Laughter / Each Entertainment Lasts one Hour'. At the foot, beneath the claim that Portland has received '5000 testimonials', are his details: 'Entertainment for Children / arranged by / James Portland, / The Childrens' Entertainment Expert / 39, Sinclair Road, Kensington, W. 14. / (One Minute from Olympia) / Telephone - Riverside 1131'. The greater part of the page is divided into two columns, separated by a mass of children's faces, containing eight numbered panels depicting Portman's routines: No 1 - Conjuring; No 2. Ventriloquism. / Conjuring is also included in this programme; No 3 Royal Punch and Judy; No 4 Living marionette pantomime "Aladdin". Played by three entertainers; No 5 Two Jolly Clowns (two entertainers); No 6 "Comic Donkey" with Clown (two entertainers); No 7 Shadow Pictures / Conjuring is also included in this programme; No 8 A varied "clown" entertainment.

First Edition. Quarto. 35cm. Publisher's maroon cloth boards titled in gilt to front board. 46pp. Internally clean, light spotting to prelims, fore-edge untrimmed; Light wear and bumping to extremities, dulling of the cheap gilt, and some darkening and soiling to the cloth; strong and solid, a very good copy. Internally clean wi…th the bookplate of Jim Ellis to the front flyleaf and a florid inscription to the facing blank: "To Jim Ellis from his friend, Jack [G]etrich." A rather typically extravagant collection of stage magic tips, tricks and techniques from Larsen Sr., the father of the intensely prolific William "Bill" Larsen Jr. and the origin of much of his stagecraft and "Impresario to the rich and famous" persona. It's probably fair to say that the Larsen's were one of the USA's most influential and long standing magical dynasties. The recipient is easy enough to identify; Jimmie Ellis, one time President of the Kudner Advertising Agency in New York, single-handedly responsible for the rise of the Buick Automobile Co. and widely acclaimed as a major figure in the 1950's US advertising world. Kudner were solely responsible for Buick advertising throughout the heyday of the company, under Ellis's direction. A life long Republican, Ellis was also instrumental in securing the popular vote for Eisenhower. Signed.

Limited Edition. No statement of edition or printing; numbered 811 of an unspecified number of copies. Small quarto. Publisher's green cloth, titled in gilt to spine; marbled endpapers; 490pp; illus. A crisp, clean copy, with faint handsoil to binding, just lightly rubbed at board edges and spine ends, very fresh and tight withi…n; Very Good to Near Fine. Laid in (as found) are four leaflets, ca. 1930s, advertising products from the London purveyor of magic props, L. Davenport & Co. We note that there was a simultaneous deluxe issue in red morocco and a locking clasp, uniform with Goldston's other two books in the "Exclusive Secrets" trilogy. This cloth issue, though less elaborate, appears to be the scarcer of the two bindings. A very nice copy of this classic of modern conjuring literature, surprisingly scarce and often found well-worn.
