| 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 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'. My thanks to Edwin Corrie for supplying the information. The pages shown below are taken from the USA version. **********
