  First Edition of John D. Lippy, Jr.'s Chemical Magic; From the Library of Legendary Magician Oscar Teale

  LIPPY, Jr..

  Chemical Magic.

  New York: George Sully and Company, Inc, 1930.

  First edition of this specialized instructional work. Octavo, original publisher's pictorial cloth, top stain orange, frontispiece, illustrated with photographs and diagrams. From the collection of magician Oscar Teale with his book plate to the front pastedown. Oscar Teale was a magician, lecturer, and historian of magic whose work bridged performance, scholarship, and the preservation of conjuring as a serious cultural practice. He served as the private secretary to Harry Houdini during the final years of Houdini’s life, a position that granted him direct access to the magician’s professional correspondence, research, and anti-spiritualist investigations, and later informed Teale’s influential role in preserving and interpreting Houdini’s legacy. In very good condition.
