Binder of clippings from Magic MagazinesAuction is for an old binder that has many clippings from magic magazines. There are clippings from Genii, MUM, The Conjuror, and more. This entire binder was put together by Col. Harlan H. Taylor, M.D. (1899-1987), born in Tennessee, an Army surgeon who
performed magic for Gen. Douglas MacArthur, Gen Eisenhower, Vice President Richard Nixon. "Ike" always wanted to know how the tricks were done, but Dr. Taylor "kept the faith" and never told!
Dr. Taylor especially liked card magic and had a large library of card magic books. unfortunately he used it as a working library and most of his books had underlining as well as his bookplate on the pages.
Most of the pages in this binder are on card effects. Not sure of how many pages, not very big but a fun read as well as you may find a little magic nugget that everyone else is not doing. I would guess most clippings from the 40's & 50's and some 60's.
Included with this auction will be a brief bio about Dr. Taylor as well as the small write up that was in the November 2008 Magic magazine along with one of his business cards. Dr. Taylor sponsored the "Dr. Taylor Trophy" for excellence in magic performances for local cluds.
