272: Two scrapbooks . Secrets, Memorabilia, Artwork...

[Scrapbooks] Two neatly compiled scrapbooks of magic secrets, artwork and ephemera, including Houdiniana. Primarily composed of methods for well-known tricks published in newspapers and authored by "George Newton Sleight, PhD.," the books, each 100 pages in length, also contain original artwork for illusions related to The Great Ovette, memorabilia related to The Great Raymond, Howard Thurston, and a scarce two-color photographically-illustrated handbill advertising Houdini's film The Master Mystery. Bindings loose, but condition generally good. Should be seen.
