Fox, Paul (Paul Fuchs). Archive of correspondence and magic-related blueprints from Paul Fox. Included are drawings for several magic props including an appearing bird cage, cake pan and other unknown devices in varying sizes (two being very large); a six-page ALS to Earl Violet from Fox outlining various tricks and routines; and a two-page ALS from Faucett Ross to Violet outlining one of Fox's tricks. Condition varies, but generally good. Should be seen. Paul Fox was one of Dai Vernon's confidants, and a master engraver hired by Tiffany & Co., among other elite clients. His magic props were legendary for their quality and beauty, due to his exacting, unwavering standards of quality. Paul Fox correspondence is scarce; schematic drawings of this nature are unobtainable.
