I have about half a dozen Gen Grant books & M/s.
Could we possibly try to assemble a FULL Titles list of everything he wrote in book or manuscript form? A mammoth task but it could be done. Great for future researchers & collectors.

Re: U F Grant Literature
If you have the Potter's Index, there is a list of more 100 book or manuscript. Unfortunately, more than 60 are undated.

Re: U F Grant Literature
Don Tanner produced a very extensive list of U.F. Grant material but I don't know where one would find Mr. Tanner.
Re: U F Grant Literature
I have a great love for U. F. Grant and his low-tech methods. Maybe a compilation one day!

He was in fact a real pioneer, both in the invention and marketing of magic, I understand that he would invent two or three tricks a day, write up the instructions, and store them in cigar tins. When he died there was over a thousand tricks.
Is it even possible to create two or three 'good' tricks in a single day ??

Re: U F Grant Literature
I've been a big U.F. Grant fan since I was in grade school. His method for the Dancing Hanky (which I used as a kid) is brilliant. His manuscripts, "Victory Carton Illusions" and another one on levitations, supplied me with several tricks I used as a teenager.

Re: U F Grant Literature
I agree with Todd Karr and Bob Farmer -- Grant was one of the great thinkers in magic. I, too, collect his books and material when I can find them. Unfortunately, many of these (including much of the Tanner publications) are mimeographed, stapled sheets of paper, not even what we would call a "book" these days.
There was a Grant issue of Genii which will be worth checking out when the back issue service is available online.

I offer three of Grant's publications in electronic form: Grant\'s ebooks , a fourth is in the making, and many others are lined up for conversion.

Re: U F Grant Literature
U.F. Grant was one of the most inventive minds of the 20th century. His products all had a "look" about them. I think that when he was first producing things on his own, it was during the Depression, and later WW II, and he had a tendency to use whatever he could obtain at a low price.
Be that as it may, his stuff WORKED!
Look how many of his creations are still on the market. The perennial Temple Screen is just one example.

Re: U F Grant Literature
Allen:
Would you include his periodicals? If so, then check out the massive Alfredson/Daily magic periodical checklist, and Fernandes' also-massive follow-up volume. In addition, George Daily did a little checklist of Grant's periodicals as supplement 59a to The Magic Cauldron, but my guess is all of the entries from the supplement are listed in the later, aforementioned periodical checklists.
Somewhat surprisingly, Steve Forrester's bibliography does not tackle Grant's publications. But Steve's working on a revised edition, and maybe he'll include Grant's writings then.

Re: U F Grant Literature
Magician: Yes I would include Grant's periodical articles; it's the onlky way to get a full picture of a great thinker/deviser's work.Also many little gems/ideas are often lost when periodical stuff is passes by. Look at the massive tome on Al Baker. Wow what a collection.
My own Grant works are very small in number.
Grant's Manual Of Magic.
Bodies In Orbit.
6 Modern Levitations.
Victory Carton Illusions.
Challenge Magic Act.
25, Rising Card Tricks.
There may be more on my book shelves
Others were given away to young magicians.
Magic Books By Post, Bristol, England,
still stock.
Chinese Magic & Illusions
15 Great Illusions.
50 Crazy Card Stunts.
Grant's Patter Folio.
Hat Loading Methods.
99 Tips & Gags.
175 Tips & Gags.
100 Tips & Gags.
Window Stoppers.
Clever Little Ideas Presented. (CLIPS)
Egg & Fan Tricks.
so at least some of his stuff is still around.
Magicians on your side might be able to tell me if there's any in Magic Inc's catalogue.
I'll check Tannens & Abbotts, though my copies of these date back about 9 years!
Does anyone over there know if he did devise Houdini Outstripped. It had the Grant name attached to it when I purchased it from Davenports around 1946? My parents at that time thought it too cheeky for a 13year old to present.

Don't take this the wrong way but a $ 150.00 compilation book of inepensively produced booklets that contain great material that I (as well as many others) was able to purchase as a kid because of the price...I would rather see them re-issued inexpensively produced and priced to continue this tradition:

Re: U F Grant Literature
Thank you Reinhard and Richard for such lists.
I'd forgotten the Phantini books and the Grant/Zella connection.
And Tom. Yes I agree the inexpensive booklet tradition should be kept up; it's invaluable but with so much Grant stuff several compilations would be very very useful and time saving.
Keep the lists growing please.

Re: U F Grant Literature
For U.F. Grant fans:
Jimmy King, Sr. of Mak-Magic (and son-in-law of the late U.F. Gen Grant) - is currently working on a DVD project featuring the filmed lectures of U.F. Grant that were originally made to be distributed to various magic associations and clubs around the country. Also included, will be a 30 minute color (no sound) Demonstration of Magic: Gen Grant personally demonstrating 30 of his own commercially-available tricks of the time (and I guarantee that the majority of the effects shown will still fool magicians today!)
Mr. King expects this DVD set to be released sometime in the later part of 2006.
