1880 Magazine Article

How Magicians Can Identify Hidden Objects at a Distance--Revealed by a 19th Century Magician

Up for bids is this rare 1880 magazine article from a prominent American monthly magazine . . " Second Sight Unraveled" by Henry Hatton .( Documentation will be provided the winner of the auction indicating the date of publication,author and magazine name.SEE FOOTNOTE)
Henry Hatton (1837-1922) Born in New York. Stage name of Patrick Henry Cannon since 1867. Inspired seeing Heimbürger, J.H. Anderson, and Macallister. Self-taught. Wrote (as P.H. Cannon) the Lessons in Magic series, which ran from 1865 to 1867 in Our Young Folks (Boston). Notable because, like Hoffmann's later Modern Magic, it was largely based on Ponsin. Pro since 1867 when he interrupted the Lessons in Magic series to begin touring. Joined SAM 1902 as Member #21. Co-authored (as Henry Hatton with Adrian Plate) Magicians' Tricks (1910), a classic that Henry Hay rightly called the 'first American general textbook' of magic. The co-authors drew the wrath of many colleagues for public exposure by permitting key sections to be reprinted in St. Nicholas, a bestselling magazine for boys. Hatton weathered this scandal to become President of SAM 1912-14.
This highly informative, 5 page magazine article describes in great detail all the methods that magicians and "clairvoyants" use to perform the trick known as Second Sight . Second Sight is a trick whereby the performer on a stage identifies an object that is at a distance in the audience. The article describes how code wordsand numbers in a code system are employed to relay to the performer exactly what the object is. This is a great article!!! Included in the article are the code systems that the author had used to perform the trick. --

This is not a modern reprint or photocopy but rather an authentic 129 year-old magazine article and a great source of Magic Performance History. There are facts, observations, and insights here not to be found in any of today's sources.

The article is in good condition with minor age-toning. Pages are approximately 6 ½ by 9 ½ inches. The article comes rebound in a plastic protective binder. In the USA shipping and handling are $2.50 via USPS 1st Class Mail. Shipping and handling are reduced considerably for multiple auctions won. PAYPAL is accepted. 7-day return policy for any reason. You may email me for more details.

Documentation includes a copy of the Title page of the magazine,and magazine index reference--The actual 1880 magazine article--paper and ink are 129 years old--are offered in this auction
