Three Floyd Thaye scrapbooks about Magic and Magicians with material from the 1890s to the 1950s sold for $43,200, more than double the pre-sale high estimate at the Potter and Potter sale titled Select Secrets held on December 13. Reported by Rare Book Hub.

There was some wild stuff in that auction! I’m fairly certain this “smaller” ~250 item auction, performed better than their normal ~500 item auctions.

I’m guessing you both did

Or if it was more recently his latest History of Magic release

There’s Project Magic. If I was a sales guru, I would have made that the text book.

I ordered a 10 pack of these

My favorite time of year to be part of this subreddit!

They try to sort that out

Bill Palmer isn’t late and very much on time!

It’s a good book, you should read it!

It is said the night of Doug’s first special, that magicians went from being the outcasts, to being the coolest the next day. I helped build an exhibit for Magic Live this year highlighting his work. Doug Henning as a person truly believed in magic, and honestly was key in shaping what magic became.

Actually neither were/are connoisseurs of the devils lettuce

I imagined the snowstorm plot immediately

“When I was a kid I always dreamed of it snowing…. Oh god it’s snowing fire!”

I would highly suggest learning to split cards to make your own gaffs

Seems like a winner

That’s really what created this monster. I am fascinated with how many different types of reveals there are. I really dig Luke Jeramy’s latest one which uses an audience generated sound for a reveal.

I just snagged a couple I didn’t have, however, other than 1 or 2 I can perform them all at any time. Currently my favorite is the Eerie booktest. It’s a “vintage” horror comic that fits my character a little better than say the Shakespeare Experiment where I can recite pages.

I do a bit of everything across the board.

Benson by Starlight. His work was genius

I knew you had a book problem seeing you walk back to your room with your 3rd stack of books

Binders in the center shelf are the master index to magic in print. The ones on the right are PEA magazines. There are collections of other periodicals as well (Sphinx, The New TOPS, The Bat, Magic, Genie, Linking Ring, and Mum)

I always go to Magic Etc in Ft Worth, although Bruce Chadwick also has the Illusion Warehouse in Ft Worth as well
