About This Item
Abbot’s Magic Novelty Co., Colon, MI, 1937; 8vo, 320 pages. Abbot’s profusely illustrated 1937 professional magic catalog, featuring hundreds of professional magic tricks with description and price for each. Art deco cover art by Sid Lorraine. Former copy of notable vaudeville magician Leon Harry Levy (1876-1951), "The Great Leon," which he has signed at the top of the title page using his stage name, and which bears his home address label affixed to the verso of the front wrap. Very Good Plus, clean, crisp, bright, no chips or tears. Included is an 8" x 10" original photograph of Leon with his stage assistant Edythe Packard Levy, whom he married in 1903 and with whom he remained for thirty-six years. Because of her ability to magically disappear and quickly reappear on another part of the stage, Edythe was known as the "It’s Me Again!" girl. Both items from the Leon estate. A unique set from the golden age of magic.
