Classic Secrets of Magic
From MagicPedia
Classic Secrets of Magic was a book by Bruce Elliott published by Harper & Bros. in 1953
The book was a compendium of some of the greatest effects in magic at the time, released by a mainstream publisher.
It contains card revelations; the rice bowls; a wine glass production; paddle move work, including Dr. Sachs' Dice Routine; versions of the Four Ace trick; the Miser's Dream; Egg Bag; Chink-a-Chink; effects with razor blades, matches and billiard balls. It also includes Elliott's version of the Ambitious Card, Charlie Miller's cups and balls and Roy Benson's bowl routine.
A few notable names that appear in the book are Dai Vernon, Jay Marshall, Lee Noble, Walter Gibson,Joe Berg, Cy Endfield, Charlie Miller and Roy Benson.
Some magicians were not happy at time for his "exposure". The book even had a "read and return guarantee" promotion. However, the promotion was not national, and it was done through the mail, with the mailing list given to Harper's by Elliott.
