[“ANDY JERXMAN,” pseudonym]. The Jerx, Volume One. Illustrated by Stasia Burrington. 8vo. Illustrated. Publisher’s full black cloth, front board and spine stamped in black, pictorial endleaves. Minor rubbing. A fine copy. FIRST EDITION, ONE OF A SUPPOSED 300 COPIES, hand-numbered by the author as number “001” (in jest): “Book #001 / David- This is one of the last copies of the book I have, but I numbered it #1 for the sake of when you auction it off you can say it’s #1. Hope you enjoy this! Andy.” Fine. One of the rarest hyper-modern books about magic, written by “Andy Jerxman,” whose true identity remains a mystery. The book is prized for its writing style and humor, as well as its rarity. The Jerx is a popular and irreverent website and blog about modern magic; therein, “Andy” describes the book as “sold out for many years.” This copy is offered with a sealed plastic envelope of paper props to be used with the tricks described in this book, as issued.
