Small annotation to top right hand corner title page. Slight wear to spine, covers & corners. ; Edward Marlo, born Edward Malkowski in 1913 in Chicago, Illinois, was an influential figure in the world of card magic. Known for his profound skill and deep theoretical knowledge of card sleight of hand, Marlo became one of the most respected magicians of his time. His career in magic began in the early 1930s, and he quickly earned a reputation for his original techniques and the meticulous nature of his work. Marlo published extensively, contributing over sixty books and numerous articles to the magic community, which became seminal works for magicians worldwide. His writings, such as The Cardician and Revolutionary Card Technique, continue to influence the craft of card magic. Marlo’s legacy is not just in his innovations and teachings, but also in his philosophy of relentless practice and perfection, making him a true magician’s magician. He passed away in 1991, leaving behind a treasure trove of magical knowledge. Paul Daniels, a renowned British magician, assembled one of the most impressive private collections of magic books and artifacts during his lifetime. His library was extensive, covering every facet of magic and illusion. Among the treasured volumes was a significant book once owned by Edward Marlo, reflecting Daniels’ deep appreciation for the craft of card magic. Daniels’ collection was not merely for show; it served as a research tool and a source of inspiration throughout his career. After his passing in 2016, parts of his collection were auctioned, revealing the depth and diversity of his interests—from classic conjuring texts to modern magical theory. This collection was a testament to Daniels’ dedication to the art of magic, his desire to preserve its history, and his commitment to supporting future generations of magicians by providing access to a wealth of knowledge and insight that spanned centuries of magical tradition. ; 22.4 x 15 cms.
