Noakes, featuring original routines, performance ideas, presentations, and professional advice for magicians. The volume includes a preface by legendary magician and inventor J. N. Maskelyne and was written by one of the most respected figures in British magic, Ernest E. Noakes, Honorary Vice-President of The Magic Circle. This copy possesses exceptional magic provenance. It bears the historic ownership stamp of Martinka & Co., one of the most important magic dealers in American history. Founded in New York during the nineteenth century, Martinka became the premier supplier of magical apparatus and literature to professional magicians. The firm is especially notable because it was owned by Harry Houdini during the latter part of his career. Original Martinka stamps are highly desirable to collectors of magic memorabilia and literature. Additionally, this volume was owned and signed by Richard Robinson, better known as "The Science Magician." Robinson was a respected performer, lecturer, author, and educator who spent decades combining science and magic in educational programs. He authored numerous books and publications and assembled an extensive research library devoted to magic history and performance.
