This sought-after book is very hard to find in this condition. One of only two books written by Okito, a member of the legendary Bamberg dynasty of magicians. It starts with a potted history of his family and then runs through tricks in almost every genre of the art. It has a striking portrait of Okito at the end of the introduction. Beautiful pictorial cover, a really special piece of magic history. Also contains a scarce advert for Houdini's Rope Ties and Escapes on the inside back cover.
 
Condition: Good, some wear and marks to covers and spine, though much less than typically found on these types of Goldston books, previous owner's name and address neatly written on title page, some tyellowing and foxing to pages.
