The Best in Magic by Bruce Elliott, 1956
 
'The Best in Magic' by Bruce Elliott was published by Harper & Row, Publishers, Inc in New York in 1956 and subsequently republished as 'Magic: 100 New Tricks' by Faber and Faber in London in 1957.

Both versions contain four paperfolds by Gershon Legman which had previously appeared in 'The Phoenix', althouhgh the 'Lingam and Yoni' is here retitled 'Bolt and Frame'. The illustrations are identical in both books. Some of the words have been changed in the British edition eg 'dollar bill' becomes' 'Treasury note'.

The details shown below are taken from the USA version.

My thanks to Edwin Corrie for supplying the information.
