First edition of this specialized instructional work. Octavo, original publisher's pictorial cloth, top stain orange, frontispiece, illustrated with photographs and diagrams. From the collection of magician Oscar Teale with his book plate to the front pastedown. Oscar Teale was a magician, lecturer, and historian of magic whose work bridged performance, scholarship, and the preservation of conjuring as a serious cultural practice. He served as the private secretary to Harry Houdini during the final years of Houdiniâs life, a position that granted him direct access to the magicianâs professional correspondence, research, and anti-spiritualist investigations, and later informed Tealeâs influential role in preserving and interpreting Houdiniâs legacy. In very good condition. John D. Lippy, Jr. was an American educator and writer whose work focused on the intersection of chemistry, pedagogy, and popular demonstration. Best known for Chemical Magic, Lippy sought to translate fundamental chemical principles into controlled, visually engaging experiments that could function both as classroom instruction and as performance, emphasizing safety, clarity of explanation, and reproducibility. Framed at the intersection of science education and conjuring, the book emphasizes clarity, safety, and repeatability, presenting experiments that rely on accessible materials while illustrating fundamental reactions such as color change, gas production, and combustion.
