Does anyone remember the Genii issue that was devoted to listing the 100 greatest magic books ever written? It was probably
at least 10 years ago.
Thank you.

Greatest magic books ever written
Hi,
Does anyone know what issue of Genii included a list of the greatest magic books of all time and had various lists by other magicians? I think it was around 10 years ago.
Thank you.

Hi Jimmie,
I guess there was a mix-up. I responded to the email you sent me with a $50 bid and asked if it was a one time bid. I never heard back from you for some reason. Sorry to have missed out. Let me know if the winner doesn't follow thru.

Hi,
Here is an update. I have been told by several fellow magicians that this deck may have been created for a trick by George Sands. He may have produced several of these decks after being taught the technique by John Scarne. Any thoughts?
