Postby daveg » February 28th, 2021, 9:19 pm

For sale (as one lot):

- THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF STAGE ILLUSIONS by Burling Hull, edited by Ormond McGill

- Micky Hades' ENCYCLOPEDIA OF SUSPENSIONS AND LEVITATIONS edited by Bruce Armstrong

- DEVICE AND ILLUSION by Jim Steinmeyer


Price for all 3: US$600 including expedited postage (from Australia)


THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF STAGE ILLUSIONS rarely comes up for sale. Only 500 copies were printed, but less than that number exist in the world as it was withdrawn from sale due to copyright issues on some of the included illusions.
Limited edition. 1980. 374 pages. Black faux leather padded cover, gold stamped, with dust jacket.
Book condition is excellent - no damage or marking. Dust jacket condition is fair - general wear visible, with chipping and tearing along edges and folds.

Micky Hades' ENCYCLOPEDIA OF SUSPENSIONS AND LEVITATIONS
First Edition 1976; Micky Hades International; 266 pages
Hardcover, red; gold stamped. No dust jacket - as issued.
Condition is near mint.

DEVICE AND ILLUSION Jim Steinmeyer
First Edition 1991; Hahne Books; 134 pages.
Hardcover, beige; gold stamped. No dust jacket - as issued.
Condition is near mint.

I am selling these as one lot, priced for quick sale. (The Hull/McGill book usually sells for around $600 on its own)

Email is the best way to contact me. I am happy to provide photos of the books to substantiate their condition.
