Description
To have a signature of Professor Hoffmann is a delight of any Hoffmann Collector and this one is a fine example to have. In the words of Hoffmann, “The possessor of this little book thereby acquires a curious power of divination. A person, having mentally selected a card, has only to state on which one or more of the 6 pages such card appears, when the performer, without seeing the book, will instantly tell the name of his card. The feat may be repeated at pleasure.” Following this intro you will find the actual signature of Louis Hoffmann. Included with the Wizard’s Pocket Book are the original instructions for the use of the book encompassing 7 pages. Within the book you will find layouts of cards printed in two colors and cover is of cloth stiff boards. What a delight to be able to hold such an item as once held and signed by a gentleman whose written contributions for the world of magic influenced so many. Condition light soil to cover and darkening on spot where label was once attached. Previous owner’s signature otherwise very fine and very scarce.
