Jean Huggard "Card Manipulations" and "More Card Manipulations" are complete and in good condition and have been bound in matching dark brown leather, presumably by Jay Marshall. Jay has signed some of the individual books, see photos above. There is also a letter with a Jean Huggard signature, see above, and a flier from the 1955 SAM tribute to Huggard and some other small Huggard ephemera. Included in the lot is a Genii magazine with Huggard on the cover, see photo above.
The Card Manipulation series has lots of useful moves and routines, all well illustrated. It's a gold mine just waiting for a serious card worker to dig into it. Great stuff for the collector or card magician, available at a low starting bid, no reserve. Good luck!
Another great find from the private collection of professional prestidigitator Jay Marshall.
