This is the last offering from Burling Volta Hull in a career that span the larger part of a century. The Svengali Deck was arguably his most famous accomplishment but he was actually responsible for so much more. A man that Walter Gibson called the Greatest Creative Magic Mind that ever lived, Burling Hull was a prolific writer and inventor as well as a recognized child prodigy. Burling Hull wrote books and invented effects that touched all facets of magic and justifiably earned the title of Edison Of Magic. One of Burling's first offerings were his Billiard Ball Manipulations books in the early 1900s which were amoung the very first photographically illustrated magic books and is one the most important books on Billiard Ball manipulations. This last book from Burling contains a biography and approximately 100 pages of Burling's inventive offerings including a barehand glass of liquid production that most fully demonstrates Burling's inventive genius. T is Handkerchief Magic, his Cocktail Act, Knotted Silks, and many, many other tremendous effects. The book is autographed just inside the front cover and was signed at a time when Burling had lost most of his eyesight and reads: "Best Wishe Burling Hull". The book is in excellent condition with no problems and has a prior owners bookplate inside the front cover (last name Janson).
