Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Included. 1st Edition. First Edition, 1973. Large format. Limited Edition. #485/1000 copies (the whole edition), Numbered and SIGNED by the Author on a preliminary limitation leaf (and dated 10-30-75), printed on coated stock, in red linen cloth covered boards, charcoal endpapers (with e…mbossed bust on FFEP), in clear unprinted acetate dustwrapper, as issued. Very Fine. Co-authors listed on title page: Eric C. Lewis and David Bamberg. Frontispiece color portrait. 228pp. The Bambergs were perhaps the most famous of all magicians (or "illusionists"), a family of unorthodox Dutch Jews whose performing dynasty was sustained over five generations. Robert Albo was a Bay Area physician who developed a fascination with magic and magicians from an early age; he built perhaps the world's best collection of magic memorabilia and lore, and his series of books on the subject is the fruit of that interest. The book is out of print and difficult to locate. Signed by Author(s).
