Eleven Engraved Plates titled Figures de Magie Blanche. Paris, 1792. From Lacombe’s Amusemens des Sciences Mathematique et Physique. The engravings depict many classic conjuring feats, including nailing a card to a wall, cups and balls, card sleights, rope tricks, the Bonus Genius, and dozens more. Three framed, the balance loose. These plates were published in the work that is said to have inspired Robert-Houdin to become a conjurer instead of a clockmaker.
