The Lost Notebooks of John Northern Hilliard

The Lost Notebooks of John Northern Hilliard is a book published by Genii Corporation in 2001 that is a facsimile edition of two Hilliard missing notebooks from Greater Magic.

Hundreds of the tricks that Hilliard had collected were nowhere to be found in the final published version of Greater Magic. There was a great hubbub about the missing material. A number of magicians entered the hotel room where he died ... perhaps one of them left with something.

In the 1990s, a box full of old magic catalogs was sold at an auction in middle America. At the bottom of this box, and not even listed in the contents, were two old notebooks with hundreds of typed pages in brown leatherette bindings. They were the lost notebooks of John Northern Hilliard.
