[MARLO] HUGARD, Jean (1871 – 1959). Card Manipulations. New York: Max Holden, (1935). Blue cloth lettered black. Illustrated. 8vo. Binding cracked, spine splitting and toned. ED MARLO’S COPY, with his penciled annotations and comments at the beginning of each entry and two pages of his handwritten notes laid in.
An early example of Marlo’s annotations, here primarily at the beginning of each entry where he comments “Do not use” or “Very good, use” and makes other terse comments on the various tricks and sleights. Marlo would have obtained this book in his 20s, just as he began publishing his own ideas on card magic and sleight-of-hand.
