The Essential Magic Conference for 2011 offered a complete digital download set of Opus with registration. Perhaps you can get that, and figure out what you need.

The download was only for volume 1.

Oops, my bad.

Mike Henkel has many magic magazines for sale. Google him.

JJ was selling all the volumes of Opus in digital format.

Thanks. But I am still looking and for all complete files of magazines that are bound. Also I wanted to know how long precursor ran for (how many volumes and numbers it ended with).

Precursor A Magazine of Innovation was a Magic Periodical edited by Bill Miesel with Ed Eckle that came out three times a year.

Intended from conception to be the heir of Ibidem, it was devoted mainly to card magic and close-up as a means to introduce experimental ideas. It started with a first issue dated June, 1983 and lasted for 13 years for a total of 100 issues.[1] There were also four "Special Issues" published in October 1983, November 1986, April 1988, and April 1993.

Contributors included Mike Skinner, Stewart James, Ken Krenzel, Max Maven, Ed Marlo, J.K. Hartman, Gene Maze, Lou Gallo, Jon Racherbaumer, Bill Kalush, Chris Kenner, Karl Fulves, Mel Stover and Martin Gardner.

At the 2002 FFFF, Eckle and Miesel receive plaques for the work they did on the magazine.

I am looking for precursor number 76-100 and also opus a few volumes but I want the actual magazines. Has anybody got any or a set for sale, also could someone tell me what number of opus had Steven Hamilton's coins to glass in as I cant see the number on it. Thanks
