About this Item

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. HBS 69099. $1,000. Seller Inventory # 69099
