This book came from the library of a magic collector who took pride in his books.This preowned book was professionally sealed in protective padding when the previous owner shipped it to us.We did not open the sealed protective padded wrapping.You will receive it in the exact condition it was shipped to us from the collector.
This out-of-print book is HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE and EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND.The few other copies currently available are priced from $275 and up! And they don't give you free shipping like we do!
This is VOLUME TWO of the two-part series.The second volume is much more rare than the first, and is nearly impossible to find sold separately from the first volume.
Volume Two contains the pageant of scintillating Elmsley magic. A remarkable collection of more than 103 exquisitely conceived, entertaining and unfathomable tricks, ranging from baffling predictions and feats of mind-reading to glittering coin magic and bewildering card mysteries. Many Elmsley classics are included, plus original flourishes, a chapter on tricks with the faro shuffle, and a detailed description of Elmsley’s “Cardworks,” a brilliant act that was one of Elmsley’s crowning achievements.
