Description: JOHNSON SMITH & Co. "250 PARLOR TRICKS or MAGIC MADE EASY" MAIL ORDER CATALOG - 1930s-1940s Johnson Smith & Company. 5" x 7.5". Approximately 64 pages. Softbound with pulp paper content. Black & white contents illustrated in classic "Johnson Smith" style. The first half consist of "Magic Made Easy" illustrated chapters promoting various magic tricks & illusions. Remaining 30+ pages is a "Supplementary Catalogue" packed with sophomoric gags, magic items, comic character toys, ethnic stereotypes, hypnotism/crystal gazing, etc. Notable examples: Dancing skeleton, "Ventrilo" throw your voice device, "performing coons" ethnic toy and functional "baby" revolver. Condition is considered GOOD to FAIR with moderate surface/stain/edge wear. Mild surface creasing with scattered small page & staple edge tears (largest being approx. 1/4") & one 7/8" corner chip. Cover glue has loosened from spine (booklet itself is still well bound). 1/2" spine edge separation. Complete and uncut. Considering the inexpensive "pulpy" nature of the paper, we consider this a very serviceable example by most standards (see photos). A great period piece.
