Wanted - The Card Wizard 1949 Bill Turner

[Joe Lyons]

I’m looking for a copy of The Card Wizard 1949 by Bill Turner with a good dust jacket for sentimental reasons.I found a few copies without a cover or a torn one, looking for one with the cover intact.

That was my first real magic book. (I knew it as "How to do Tricks with Cards"). Super book--anything with Hahne illustrations has gotta be good!

For some reason, I always loved this line:

"I'd rather watch the kid next door mystify people with the Twenty-one Card Trick than see Ringling Brothers' gorilla deal seconds from a stack of wheatcakes with his toes as a feat of pure, undeceptive jugglery."

Me too (unless the Garcia and Schindler book beat it by a nose). I still have the paperback copy.

Looking for a good hardcover edition to fill a spot in my library.

Thanks Richard!
That’s a great price for the paperback for anyone who doesn’t have it.
I’m inquiring about the hardback now.

Well I did Richard, but when you click on the link it says no dust jacket.
I have an email in to the seller.
Thank you.

[Richard Hatch]

Hmmm... when I click on that second link, it clearly states dust jacket included. Let me know what the bookseller tells you.

[Joe Lyons]

Ok, got the response - no jacket.

If anyone has one they’ll part with let me know.
