Stanyon’s Serial Lessons in Conjuring — The Victorian Blueprint for Magical Mastery
Before Tarbell, before Bobo, there was Ellis Stanyon. His legendary Serial Lessons in Conjuring, published between 1899 and 1910, laid the foundation for modern magical instruction. Now, thanks to Kaufman and Greenberg, this complete collection is reborn in a deluxe limited edition of just 500 copies — a must-have for serious students and collectors of the magical arts.
Inside this beautifully bound volume, you’ll discover:
- 21 original lessons covering coin magic, card sleights, handkerchief tricks, chemical magic, juggling, and more
- Hundreds of effects and techniques that were cutting-edge in their time — many still fooling audiences today
- Illustrated throughout, capturing the charm and ingenuity of turn-of-the-century conjuring
- A historical treasure that bridges the gap between parlor magic and the rise of professional illusionists
Bound in maroon cloth over cream boards with gilt stamping and housed in a matching slipcase, this edition is as elegant as the secrets it contains.
Perfect for magicians, historians, and collectors alike — Stanyon’s Serial Lessons in Conjuring is more than a book. It’s a time machine to the roots of real magic.
