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: Poor. Marks and wear to the covers. Boards and spine very worn with knocks and marks. Tape repair to spine. Sticker to inside front cover. Sticker to title page. Pages have a few minor marks and creases. Pages have some pencil additions. Pages have some ink additions. Ex-library with associated stickers, stamps and inscriptions. Has slight "old book smell". A fair reference copy.
