D'Hotel, Dr. Jules. La Prestidigitation Sans Baggages. Paris, 1936 – 1944. A complete set of eight clothbound volumes in red and brown buckram, spines stamped in gold. Illustrated. 8vo. Light foxing and wear, but overall good condition. Uncommon. Magic Without Apparatus was never completely translated into English, though the Fleming Book Company did issue an English edition of Volume 1. D'Hotel's work is considered one of the foundational works of French conjuring literature, yet is virtually unknown to English-speaking magicians.
