Mahatma Volumes 1–9 — The Birthplace of Modern Magic Literature
Step into the golden age of conjuring with this deluxe reprint edition of Mahatma, the first English-language magic periodical of substance. Originally published between 1895 and 1906, this legendary journal chronicled the rise of stage magic and the magicians who shaped its future. Now, thanks to Richard Kaufman and Alan Greenberg, the entire nine-volume run is preserved in two stunning hardbound tomes.
Here’s why this collector’s edition is a must-have:
- Over 1,100 pages of meticulously restored content from the original issues
- Rare effects, essays, and illustrations from magic’s early pioneers
- Includes The History of Mahatma by Richard Kaufman and a comprehensive index by Stephen Hobbs
- Bound in elegant black leather with gilt titles — a true showpiece for any library
- Limited to just 350 clothbound and 50 leather bound copies, making it a prized rarity
Whether you're a historian, performer, or collector, Mahatma Vol. 1–9 is more than a book — it’s a portal to the roots of magical artistry.
