Ibidem
P. Howard Lyons' Ibidem magazine put the cutting edge on close-up magic. From 1955 to 1979, P. Howard Lyons and his mildly crazed but brilliant crew published 36 issues of Ibidem containing work that is still razor sharp! Those issues accumulated quite a reputation as the best source for avant-garde card magic and many other curious findings. In the intervening years copies of Ibidem have been much sought after and high prices paid.
Now, the first 16 issues of Ibidem are available in a single hardbound volume along with additional rare material related to the history and publication of this landmark journal.
