Average condition, 1966 Harry Stanley 1st edition -- no dust jacket. by GANSON, LEWIS

Originally published by Harry Stanley in 1961, this book introduced Slydini and his astounding routines to the magic world.   In addition to teaching Slydini's revolutionary approaches to close-up magic and his taking misdirection to the level of science, you also get 11 of his master routines completely explained by master magic teacher Lewis Ganson.  And a lot of  photos.

Routines include his sponge balls routine, Knotted silks, coins trhough the table, and his classic Paper Balls over the Head -- plus a bunch of others which are less well-known, but just as good!

If you are serious about magic, and you have not carefully studied Slydini's magic, you need this book!
