THE NEW MODERN COIN MAGIC J.B. BOBO (1966) / Vintage Coin Magic Book

Description: THE NEW MODERN COIN MAGIC J.B. BOBO (1966) -MAGIC INC., CHICAGO, IL-REVISED EDITION Illustrated by Nelson Hahne, edited by John Braun. New Modern Coin Magic includes four additional Chapters in over 150 additional pages- that are not in Modern Coin Magic. It is my understanding that when Magic Inc. renewed the copyright for The New Modern Coin Magic, they didn't realize this didn't include the previous version of the book, Modern Coin Magic. Dover publishers took the shorter public domain Modern Coin Magic and published it in paperback form, and the older version has also been made available elsewhere such as from Lybrary.com. If you can afford the hardcover, I highly recommend it over the Dover edition.. CONTENTS vii Preface xiii J.B.
