Description

Beginning in 1973 with the release of The Oriental Magic of The Bambergs and continuing through subsequent volumes and finally closing in 1990 with the Index Volume and Binder with Supplements issued for Volume 8 at the same time. In addition to the series you will find also Magic Supplement and Classic Magic Supplement 2 both of which are perfect bound soft covers.

All volumes had Limited Edition status and depending on the volume, the number published varied with the greatest limitation being on Volume 5. Many of the volumes are signed by Dr. Albo and the first volume has a previous owner's bookplate.

The package of loose leaf supplements as issued with the supplement binder are still shrink wrapped, not having yet been opened. Not only does the series fully embrace conjuring apparatus but a host of other collectibles as well such as magic tokens, books, posters, magic sets and more.

If you are new to collecting let this be a spring board for a pleasant journey as nowhere else will you find the vast amount of information contained within. This set was originally purchased as investment and is in really fine condition.

The series includes:

*1973 The Oriental Magic Of The Bambergs (1), Limited Numbered Edition, 228 pages, illustrations and color plates. Condition very fine.

*1976 Classic Magic With Apparatus (2) Limited Edition, 208 pages with illustrations and color plates. Condition very fine.

*1989 Classic Magic Supplement 2, 167 pages with many photos and color section. Condition very fine.
