SOLD CATALOG - Tannen's Magic No. 2 *PREOWNED*

Tannens Magic catalogs are VERY COLLECTIBLE and HARD TO FIND, including this NUMBER TWO!

The last one (in worse condition than this one) we found sold at auction in 2018 for $97.00

Tannen's Magic Shop is the oldest operating magic shop in New York City.
It was founded by Louis Tannen in 1925.
Tannen's is still in business today, though it has been many years since they printed a catalog.

This is Catalog Number 2, published in 1955.

Tannen's published a new catalog every few years, up until 1995, with Catalog #18.
In 2008, they published a limited number of Catalog #19, meant to be the last published Tannen's catalog in hardbound.

Tannen's catalogs are often called "magician's dream books" because they are chock full of hundreds of pages of amazing tricks and illusions that many magicians dreamed of owning and performing.
And just look at the prices!
You'll be dreaming that you could have owned these illusions at these prices!

Not only is this catalog entertaining reading, it is also an excellent resource for information on old effects and props.
Ever come across the name of an old effect or illusion, but you had no idea know what the trick did?
Pro magicians often use these vintage catalogs to research historical magic effects.
