Hierophant Set: Issues 1-7 (Pre-Owned)

Description

These are pre-owned from a magician’s estate purchase. All are in good and clean condition. Issues 1-6 have the former owner’s name and address label attached to the inner left upper front corner of the front cover and (what appears to be) the price they originally paid for each issue written (in ink ) on the upper right hand corner of the first page.

Jon Racherbaumer’s famous publication for close up/card magicians. All the greats contributed to these volumes: Hamman, Dingle, Marlo, Jennings, Vernon, Cervon, Elmsley and many more! Many photographs and illustrations make this the most comprehensive descriptions of the latest and greatest routines.
