FREAKS THAT WOULD DIM THE VISION OF HERRMANN DEBARY BEN ALLI HERCHEL COBALL AND GEURNER WILL BE PERFORMED BY PROF. REYNOLDS IT BEING HIS FIRST AND ONLY TOUR THROUGH THE COUNTRY.DON'T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY OF SEEING THAT WHICH WILL NEVER APPEAR BEFORE YOU AGAIN
Providence: What Cheer Print 1885. Broadside 29 1/4 x 10 1/2 inches with 6 1/2 x 8 1/4-inch wood engraving signed by Jackson's Print of Prof. Reynolds onstage with flying demons a cauldron and various displays on a table. Printed on inexpensive advertising paper now a light brown tone. Three minor holes one barely affecting the image. In very good condition. A marvelous and extremely rare example of late 19th- century American advertising ephemera for Prof. H.B. Reynolds "the world renowned sorcerer necromancer and magician." The wood engraving shows the Professor on stage with a few of the elements to be seen during his performances. These include demons birds and cards in various stages of flight a boiling cauldron two separate card displays and a table with three objects used in the act including an additional demon's head. Measuring nearly two and a half feet in height the text of the broadside details the wonders the audience will see. These include "original and more marvellous illusions than was sic ever performed by the Ancient Egyptians or the Necromancer of India.The wonderful power of producing realities from nothing and commanding articles to be constructed from the ashes of the earth.His marvellous power of conjuring is manifested by merely asking for or moving his hand that his desires are complied with." Reynolds also claimed to be "cabalistic in his superiority of multitude of mankind allowing himself to be bound with 100 feet of cord in the hands of the most expertitious in knot tying; when in a moment of unseen gesture he frees himself from the cords that bound him and is found within the silent enclosure of a structure whose walls have been permanently secured with screens and nails locked and sealed and bound with ropes." Although much detail is provided regarding Reynolds' skills and attributes the actual place of performance is not indicated. Space was intentionally left blank for the name of the venue to be added when available but the price of admission "15 and 25 cts. Children under 10 years 15 cents" and performance times "Doors open at 7 p.m. Oracles 8 p.m." are noted. Printed in Providence the name of the printing house What Cheer Print is derived from the Narragansett Indian's greeting to Roger Williams in June 1636 "What cheer Netop" friend. A fascinating example of late 19th-century American advertising ephemera. Extremely rare not in OCLC but one copy in the Smith Magic Collection at Brown University. What Cheer Print unknown

THE WHOLE ART OF LEGERDEMAIN OR HOCUS POCUS LAID OPEN AND EXPLAINED BY THOSE RENOWED sic MASTERS SENA SAMA HAMED BEN-ALLA AND ALL THE CELEBRATED AND MYSTERIOUS PROFESSORS OF THE ART OF NATURAL MAGIC
New York: N. C. Nafis 1833. 144 x 85 mm. 5 5/8 x 3 3/8". 71 pp. PUBLISHER'S ORIGINAL GRAY-GREEN PRINTED BOARDS upper cover with titling and an illustration of a gentleman identified as the author lower cover with two amusing woodcuts "The Lawyer and his Client" a bewigged gentleman astride an ass and "Hocus Poke-us" two boys fighting. In a brown cloth chemise and a slightly rubbed matching calf-backed slipcase. With a folding frontispiece depicting a conjurer and his assistant onstage before an amazed crowd. Toole-Stott 724. Small stains at top and bottom of spine covers just slightly grubby endpapers a bit browned text with light inoffensive foxing but for what it is AN UNUSUALLY FINE COPY the fragile binding entirely sound and the text remarkably fresh and clean. Given the materials it was made from and the hard use it would have been expected to suffer this is an exceptionally well-preserved copy of a popular handbook of conjuring tricks an early American edition of a work first compiled in 1722 by the British magician Henry Dean. Dean's work was itself based on Reginald Scot's influential "Discoverie of Witchcraft" 1584 which sought to discredit belief in "supernatural" forces by exposing the tricks by which conjurers deceived their audience. In the publications of Dean and subsequent editors this expos� of witchcraft evolved into a guide for performing parlor tricks. Our edition is a reprint or reissue of the 1831 version published by R. Schoyer; because the word "renowned" is spelled "renowed" on both title pages Toole-Stott speculates that Nafis bought sheets from Schoyer suggesting that our item would have been a reissue. These insubstantial guide books typically experienced considerable uncareful use in the hands of amateur and often juvenile magicians; consequently the few copies that do appear on the market are in deplorable shape.
