Blackstone, Harry. Blackstone’s Modern Card Tricks, Blackstone’s Secrets of Magic and Blackstone’s Magic, inscribed and signed. New York, 1932 and 1929. The first two in publisher’s cloth, illustrated, the latter a pulp publication lacking the rear wrapper and in poor condition. All three titles inscribed and signed by Blackstone on the flyleaf to magician, gambling expert, and Houdini aficionado Sidney Radner. Remarkably, this lot is accompanied by a photograph of Blackstone, Radner, and several friends that prominently features the same three books, on the evening they were signed. In the picture, two of the books are in Blackstone’s hands, and one rests on the table in front of him.
