First edition of this treatise on the methods of stage mind reading by the magician and magic historian H.J. Burlingame. Octavo, original pictorial wrappers, illustrated. From the collection of magician Oscar Teale with his book plate to the verso of the front cover. 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 good condition, the fragile wrappers chipped and torn with some loss, and the spine worn. How to Read People?s Minds, or The Mystery of Mind Reading Revealed (1904) is a treatise on the methods of stage mind reading by Hardin Jasper Burlingame (1852-1915), the American magician, dealer, and prolific historian of conjuring. Burlingame was among the earliest and most important American writers on magic, the author of Leaves from a Conjurer?s Scrap Book, History of Magic and Magicians, and Herrmann the Great. Here he sets out, in the guise of scientific explanation, the secret techniques of the professional mind readers and second-sight performers of his day. …

From the collection of magician Oscar Teale with his book plate to the front pastedown.

First edition of this historical account on the friendship between writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and magician Harry Houdini. Octavo, original publisher's orange cloth, top stain green, frontispiece of Conan Doyle and Houdini. Association copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "To Oscar S. Teale With every good wish from Bernard M.L. Ernst November 17, 1933." The recipient, Oscar Teale (1901â"1986), was an American 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 with light rubbing and spotting to the spine and extremities. Accompanied by an original flyer for the book laid in. An exceptional association, rare and desirable signed. Bernard M. L. Ernst (1897â"1971) was an American writer and historian of magic best known for his rigorous documentation of stage magic, escapology, and anti-spiritualist performance in the early twentieth century. After taking a sustained interest in magic, he became Harry Houdiniâs personal attorney and later the legal representative of Houdiniâs estate, overseeing the magicianâs correspondence and private papers while also collecting magic memorabilia. He lectured on Houdini and magic at Columbia University and, in 1926, succeeded Houdini as President of the Society of American Magicians. 'Houdini and Conan Doyle' offers a concise historical account of the complex friendship and eventual estrangement between the magician Harry Houdini and the writer Arthur Conan Doyle. Drawing on correspondence, public statements, and contemporaneous accounts, Ernst traces how their relationshipâ"initially grounded in mutual admirationâ"became increasingly strained due to irreconcilable views on spiritualism. While Conan Doyle emerged as a committed believer in psychic phenomena, Houdini devoted considerable effort to exposing fraudulent mediums, a stance that directly challenged Doyleâs convictions.…
