Item description from seller

Tight binding. First British edition, published in 1980 by Bailey Bros. & Swinfen Ltd., Folkestone, with copyright held by Quality Books, Inc. Paperback. Covers show light-to-moderate shelf wear, edge and corner wear, and minor surface rubbing consistent with age. Small crease/tear visible at the upper corner of an interior page. Interior otherwise appears clean and well preserved. Please Zoom Photos. Description How to Perform Instant Magic, compiled and edited by legendary magician, collector, and magic historian Jay Marshall, presents an extensive collection of easy-to-perform magical effects using cards, coins, everyday household objects, optical illusions, mind-reading principles, and impromptu methods. The book emphasizes practical magic that can be performed with little preparation or specialized apparatus. Sections include dinner-table tricks, vanishes, transformations, sensory and optical illusions, card and coin effects, mind-reading magic, platform effects, and gag tricks. Extensively illustrated by Richard Wahl. This copy is particularly interesting to magic collectors because of its association with Jay Marshall, one of the most important figures in twentieth-century American magic. Marshall was a professional magician and ventriloquist, longtime proprietor of Chicago's famed Magic Inc., a noted collector and historian, and a central figure in the preservation and publication of conjuring literature. The copyright page states that the book was first published in Great Britain in 1980 by Bailey Bros. & Swinfen Ltd. The number line 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 is present, supporting this as a first printing of the British edition. …
