Tom, I'll let you have the Card Craft if you promise that it's for you and you're not going to resell it for profit. :)

Did I score on the Roth Book Richard. if so I am going to sell my other one that is not collectable. If you have a first edition of Coin magic I would love one of those collectibles to. I have to go and get ready for work I would hate to miss out on an original. Please tell me at least that much I have to get going. I will check back when I get out of the shower

Richard Kaufman · Postby **Richard Kaufman** » June 19th, 2003, 8:58 pm

Reed: yes, you got a Roth book. But I do not have any extra copies of the first edition of CoinMagic with the white dustjacket. Sorry!

mark · Postby **mark** » June 19th, 2003, 9:05 pm

Richard, I would like one of the Roth Coin Magic books, please. Thanks, and Reed, I know how you feel, I just attended two of my sons' playoff games, and got home at 9:00 - this is murder!

Total: Strong Magic
Roth's Coin Magic

Richard, I am doing a quick edit on this post to show that my desire was for one of the special edition Roth books. I suspect you could have gathered this by the time stamps on your list and my request, but I just wanted to make it clear. Thanks, and GREAT LIST!!!

Mitch Solway · Postby **Mitch Solway** » June 19th, 2003, 9:10 pm

I will take a Roth Expert Coin Magic 1st Edition

Thanks,

25) Houdini's Conjurors Monthly. My reprint, ltd to 300 copies (or 400--these are shrinkwrapped). Two volumes in a slipcase (and heavy!). 2 copies. $200 each ($50 less than original price).

Richard Kaufman · Postby **Richard Kaufman** » June 19th, 2003, 9:27 pm

Many thanks for the enthusiastic response.
I have combined the entire list into the original post at the very beginning of this thread.
I will be adding new books to THAT list at the beginning of the thread, so make sure to look at the original list to see the new books added.
Oh, and Andy, you've made me feel REALLY bad that I forgot to put Alan Warner's web address in the article. I felt bad before, but now it's killing me. Order some more books. :)

reed mcclintock · Postby **reed mcclintock** » June 19th, 2003, 9:28 pm

What is Mahatma is there any coin magic in them?

Richard Kaufman · Postby **Richard Kaufman** » June 19th, 2003, 9:30 pm

Reed, I thought you were going to work?
Mahatma is the first magazine ever published devoted entirely to magic. First came out in 1894, I think, and ran for 9 years or so before The Sphinx killed it. Tons of tricks. I imagine there are lots of coin tricks, but frankly I can't remember. Someone else want to take a look? I'd like to, but I'm typing the September issue with my toes while opening boxes with my hands. :)

Erik Hemming · Postby **Erik Hemming** » June 19th, 2003, 9:31 pm

Show off...
I'll take the Tarr/Ross if it's still available.

Many thanks, oh omnidexterous one.

25) Houdini's Conjurors Monthly. My reprint, ltd to 300 copies (or 400--these are shrinkwrapped). Two volumes in a slipcase (and heavy!). 2 copies. $200 each ($50 less than original price).

Richard Kaufman · Postby **Richard Kaufman** » June 19th, 2003, 9:51 pm

Just added some copies of Greater Magic to the original list. :)
That's all for tonight.
More tomorrow.

Mitch Solway · Postby **Mitch Solway** » June 19th, 2003, 9:52 pm

I will take:

27) GREATER MAGIC EXPURGATED EDITION. As Carl Jones did, I printed 50 copies of my edition which are entirely blank except for the first signature. Has a special tip-in page regarding this which is signed by me. These were not sold, but made to be given as gifts. Found one in the boxes! $200

...at least I know I will get through this edition much faster than the regular version..

That makes:
Expert Coin Magic
Greater Magic Expurgated Edition
(so far..it is 1:00 am Toronto time...thanks for letting me go to sleep now Richard)

In addition, I would like:
