Magic Cauldron. F. William Keuthe. N2 (Feb. 1962) – N64 (Jun. 1977). Complete file. Includes all supplements, among them magic tokens, periodicals, reprints of rare items, magic tricks, booklets, want lists, and many more oddities. N1 is from the authorized "reprint" edition, signed and inscribed to Ingemar Isaksson by Keuthe. Some supplements show wear at extremities, but overall condition is very good. Scarce. To test the powers of observation of his subscribers, Keuthe issued N2 of the Magic Cauldron before N1 (which was, in point of fact, issued after N3). Despite the meticulous attention to detail paid by many periodical collectors, only one of the original 50 subscribers — Robert Lund — picked up on the discrepancy. Due to the eccentric nature of the publication, specifically the considerable number of supplements issued, seldom do complete files become available.
