EXTREMELY RARE item from the collection of a retired professional magician.Only one available- grab this bargain while you can!
Antique magic sets are very rare- and their instruction books are even MORE rare!
How this paper booklet ever survived for 135 years is a mystery!
This is the set of instructions that came packaged with a circa 1880s French magic set.The Physique Amusante (Fun Physics) sets were made in Paris between 1884 and 1893.The sets were rather elaborate, consisting of 10-20 tricks made of wood and metal.
Physique Amusante magic sets typically bring upwards of $2,000 at auction today.And rarely do the sets sold include the instructions!
