Tested Magic, written and published by Eric P. Wilson, 1923, London, Great Britain. Innovative magic, with detailed illustrations,. Booklet has two holes punched in each page, with same two holes in covered page. It originally had a lace through the holes. Lacing was removed by a former owner, so pages have all laid flat and no wear. Cover had small tear in top edge, repaired with acid free glue, and acid free tissue tape. I have put a loose elastic lace into the pages, as seen in the image of the cover. Pages may now be looked at carefully.

SIZE: 6 by 9 inches, 24 pages, plus light card covers.
CONDITION: MINT condition.
