Written by a Lutheran minister in upstate New York this entertaining treatise gives a brief history of the supernatural from ancient times to the present day and seeks to educate the audience about the dangers and follies of harboring magical beliefs noting that "witchcraft can never take root unless it be supported by credulity." According to the author's preface Frederick Henry Quitman 1760-1832 was motivated to write this work after a neighbor's home was besieged by supposed "supernatural" occurrences that included thrown stones and theft. Even though Quitman a staunch skeptic endeavored to attribute the activity to mischievous entities of the human variety the damage had been done: "Scarcely had the rumour about the forementioned witchcraft a little subsided when we heard the report of the appearance of apparitions in several quarters of the town. And it is really to be feared that during this dull winter all the corners of the town for want of other employment will be infested with demons." The Annotations at the end of the book contain many amusing definitions and descriptions of such things as talismans popular magic gothic novels and ventriloquists. Our copy was owned by the eminent magician actor writer scholar and sleight of hand artist Ricky Jay 1946-2018. In their catalogue Sotheby's notes that "Ricky Jay's accomplishments were as varied as are the formats and subjects of the material in his celebrated Collection . . . . He is one of the very select company of persons who assembled a collection of the very first rank in a field in which he was not only a world-renowned practitioner but also a scholar of considerable note." Our 1810 printing--the only early edition of this work--is rare on the market with RBH recording just four copies at auction in more than 60 years. Balance Press

1840ref. 9769Harrisburg Pa 1840. Third edition. Small 8vo. 84pp. Quarter calf over marbled boards with rubbing and wear spine faded pages toned and foxed attempted removal of ink writing on front pastedown very good. Early and desirable German-language printing of one of the foundational texts of American folk magic. First published in Pennsylvania in 1820 Hohman's Der Lang Verborgene Freund "The Long-Hidden Friend" became the best-known manual of Pennsylvania Dutch "pow-wow" practice - a uniquely American blend of Christian mysticism folk healing charms protective prayers and practical magic carried into rural German-speaking communities by immigrant traditions. Filled with remedies blessings occult protections and household formulas against illness witchcraft thieves and misfortune the work occupied the fascinating borderland between devotional handbook and grimoire and circulated heavily among everyday practitioners throughout the 19th century. This printing in the original German is especially appealing preserving the linguistic and cultural context from which these traditions emerged before later English-language editions popularized the text for a broader American occult audience. A cornerstone of Pennsylvania Dutch esoterica and among the most influential Christian folk grimoires produced in the United States. . unknown

ref. 159183N.p.: N.p. 1970. Substantial archive of material belonging to Austrian-American stage hypnotist and magician John Kolisch including two three-ring card binders with typescript and manuscript notes for Kolisch's live shows and 271 vintage photographs of Kolisch in performance. Archive appears to date from the 1950s through the 1970s the heyday of Kolisch's career. One binder holds notes and scripts for Kolisch's magic tricks powers of suggestion and general show patter and jokes while the other binder focuses primarily on feats of hypnosis. The binders hold a variety of material relating to Kolisch's performances a mix of more formal typed scripts for routines alongside manuscript draft notes and annotations noting potential "ad-libbed" interjections. Several pages capture Kolisch recording his ideas for changes to the pacing and setup of his shows as well as reminders about modernizing his patter and updating his celebrity references. Although the bulk of Kolisch's material is undated earlier acts appear to reference specific actors films or shows such as opera singers or the television show "Cavalcade of Stars" while later routines simply note the names of prominent contemporary actors and celebrities to insert at random. Kolisch who billed himself as "The Fastest Hypnotist in the World" apparently used a blend of serious hypnotism stage magic and standup comedy in his shows and accordingly an entire binder section labeled "Funny Lines" is devoted to ripostes and one-liners. These zingers cover every performance eventuality from hecklers "Have you ever been to the zoo I mean as a visitor" to a silent audience "Well they say a silent tribute is the sincerest of them all!". The archive's considerable collection of photographs captures the spirit and energy of Kolisch's live shows with audience members engaged in a number of humorous activities-stripping saluting yelling and singing dancing acting as human furniture kissing and hugging each other playing musical instruments such as maracas and the ukulele-or simply sleeping. Several photographs bear Kolisch's name and company address in Jackson Heights New York in the recto margins an address that also appears in Kolisch's company letterhead on many of his show notes. Included in the archive are 17 contact sheets capturing images from performances and portrait photographs of Kolisch. Also included are two gatherings of typescript and copied material related to Kolisch's lectures on "dynamic auto-conditioning" and "dynamic auto-suggestion" with many pages annotated by Kolisch in manuscript ink or pencil. Archive also features a 17-page bound treatise titled "Your Incredible Subconscious Mind" published in 1956 by the "Subconscious Research Institute" an organization possibly created by Kolisch himself. Photographs range in size with the majority measuring 10 x 8 inches. Near Fine to Very Good plus with occasional edgewear and creasing. Binders contact sheets lecture material and treatise Near Fine to Very Good plus with some light edgewear creasing and soil on binder exteriors. N.p. unknown
