Three Cardini magic notebooks. A group of three pocket-size notebooks filled with lists, diagrams, outlines of tricks, and routines, all in Cardini’s unmistakable script and block capital letters. Fascinating entries explain routines like the Rising Bottle From Hat, Vanish of a Trained Dog, and a Vanishing Lamp; other pages list complete close-up routines, or map out the construction of various mechanical devices, both magic related and otherwise. One entry includes a detailed listing of Fred Kaps’ performance on the Ed Sullivan Show. One book lacks covers, otherwise good condition.
