Midget Magician, (The). Wilf Huggins. V1 N1 (Jan. 1951) – V4 N2/3/4 (Sept. 1960). COMPLETE FILE of loose issues, number 20 of only 50 files issued, each SIGNED AND NUMBERED by Huggins. Dawes bookplate included. Near Fine. With all enclosures and indices enumerated in Alfredson/Daily 4840. A RARE CONJURING HISTORY PERIODICAL.
This vest pocket-size magazine was “privately issued for lovers of conjuring” and is widely sought after due to its scarcity. As Huggins wrote in his “Conversation Piece” in V1 N1, due to the small format, “…there is no room for verbosity or illustrations in this tiny publication so each article contains only that which is essential to the understanding of the subject matter.” True to those words the succinct stories may be brief, but contain information and anecdotes not circulated in other journals.
