Magic Lantern Iran
Magic Lantern Slides of Qajar Iran
Collection of 2 Vintage Optical Lantern images of Iran circa 1905. 3 1/4" x 4." The first photo shows a few hundred people attending a funeral with over twenty people standing in the trees. In the foreground musicians hold tubas and flutes. It is rare to find images of this era with musicians and their instruments. The men in the photo are wearing Qajar-era clothing including long tunics with astrakhan hats and most have beards. The second image shows a man being exposed to a public foot whipping as punishment for a crime. The accused is lying on his back with his feet tied up at an angle to a horizontal post. Men surround around him holding canes including one extended out and resting on the accused's feet. The men are all dressed in traditional Qajar-era clothing including trousers waistcoats sardaris and astrakhan hats. These are positives on a glass lantern Gelatin silver bromide. In 1850 William and Frederick Langenheim invented a transparent positive image of a photograph in the form of a glass slide that could be projected onto a wall or screen using a Magic Lantern. Magic lanterns provided one of the most popular forms of entertainment during their heyday in the 18th and 19th centuries. Using an artificial light source and a combination of lenses these devices enlarged small transparency images or miniature models and projected them onto a wall or screen. Scarce and in very good condition. unknown books

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. Accompanied by 6 1/2 x 8 1/4-inch wood engraving signed by Jackson's Print. Printed on inexpensive advertising paper now a light brown tone. Three minor holes one barely affecting the image. Very good. 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 including 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. The text of the broadside which is nearly two and a half feet in height 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." <br> <br> 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. <br> <br> 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 books

Magic Massachusetts Mail Order Businesses Corrigan George
Small Archive of Magician George Corrigan's Correspondence with other Magicians Circa 1930 Regarding Tricks
Massachusetts 1930. 8 ½ by 11 inch leatherette binder filled with correspondence. An interesting small archive of material from the semi-professional club magician George Corrigan consisting of letters written by other magicians most concerning the sale and trade of tricks. Corregan was the managing editor of the Sphinx published by Boston Assembly No. 9 and wrote a humorous personal interest column. He also like many magicians of the era traded tricks. According to Magicpedia Corregan "ran a humorous personal-interest column headed as "Dear Uncle Koko Esq." It was years before members realized that the initials of the heading spelled out a clue to the unknown author "D-U-K-E". Corregan contributed his magical ideas to the Sphinx. His Four Ace Trick published in 1922 was a favorite of Ted Annemann. He also marketed "Be a Human Calendar" and "Unkle Koko's Kloryphyll Kard Trick". He authored a column "Spilling the Beans" in The Seven Circles in the 1930s."<br /> <br /> Some entertaining material is included here particularly the effusive letters of Corregan's colleagues trying to upsell their tricks or engage in small time bartering: "Perhaps you think I am trying to pull the wool over your eyes in our transaction regarding my item Cig-o-Jest." Over 75 unique some in duplicate including correspondence trick want lists two realphoto postcards and unused stationery. We have kept the material as found loosely inserted into a leatherette binder. An interesting window into the life of a small time touring magician and magic writer circa 1930. Generally very good with some normal wear and some mimeographed pages showing normal chipping. unknown books

SURPRISE MAGIC DRAWING BOOK
SURPRISE MAGIC DRAWING BOOK
19. THE SURPRISE MAGIC DRAWING BOOK. New York: Sam'l Gabriel Sons & Company n.d. circa 1910-1920. According to a publisher's note on the verso of the title-page this is one of thirteen magic drawing book titles to be published publisher's book no. 841. It contains forty leaves which are lightly coated with wax except for uncoated areas which comprise the lines of a hidden drawing. The drawing is "magically' revealed when a crayon or pencil is rubbed over the surface and colors the uncoated area. Many of the pages have been colored or partially colored revealing images of anthropmorphized pigs and cats flying a bi-plane fishing etc. plump toddlers playing with puppies or crying over spilt milk and young children playing games such as football and baseball. The book is side-stapled within stiff paper wrappers with a color illustration printed to the upper wrapper and a blue cloth spine. Housed in the original publisher's box with the cover illustration printed again to the lid along with the original wax crayon. The book is bright and fresh despite light creasing to upper wrapper. The box is a bit edgeworn split at a few corners and heavily soiled at one edge. unknown books

magic; Leader Budd
Handwritten and Illustrated Magician's or Conjurer's Illusionist's Book of Illusions and Magic Tricks
America 1947. Cloth-covered 3-ring binder American manufactured covers illustrated in black marker with drawings of top-hats an ace of spades an eight ball faces names and maxims "Flunk Early Avoid the Rush" "Here's Your Hat What's Your Hurry". The inside front cover bears our author's name "Budd Leader Sophomore 1st half" as well as a cloud of girls' names Joan Ginger Darlene Sally Betty Roberta et al perhaps referring to his lovely assistants -- women who put birds back in their cages who comforted newly hatless rabbits who were sawn in half or who otherwise gave themselves to magic. This distinctly American binder is bursting with 382 tricks handwritten in ink in tidy script on lined paper most of them accompanied by careful pencil drawings demonstrations of steps and techniques on small leaves of onion skin paper stapled to the trick they describe. Extremities bumped and cloth a bit frayed; boards warped see aforementioned "bursting" I wasn't joking with a few small spots of soiling. Top ring of binder doesn't close all the way ahem bursting so a few pages have come loose but could be easily reinforced if one were so inclined. Contents are bright and clean perfectly legible pleasing to behold and -- one assumes -- hitherto privileged information. <br/><br/>Includes tricks with cards rope dice balloons sleights of hand mind reading break-away cabinets and so much more. Though some of the illusions strike this cataloguer as enticingly practical "How to be Marvelous without Skill" "The Vanishing Alarm Clock" many of the illusions seem quite advanced and particular to the world of magic "Second Sight Extraordinary" "Mind Signals" "You Do As I Do". Though little can be found on Budd Leader now he was clearly a high school student of some talent and considerable dedication. A quintessential distinct volume. Remarkable. hardcover books
