Vintage “Gamagic” catalog from Gamages, Holborn, London, featuring a wonderful selection of magic tricks, apparatus, jokes, novelties and theatrical items offered by the famous London retailer.
 
The catalog is heavily illustrated throughout with period advertisements and descriptions for card tricks, rope tricks, cups and balls, production apparatus, comedy magic, puzzles and other magician’s equipment. Some particularly interesting listings include the Dream Rope, Hamburg Rope Trick, Cups and Balls, Poker Chip Chicanery, Wonder Box, diminishing cards and numerous classic Gamages effects.
 
A great piece of vintage British magic ephemera and an interesting reference for collectors of antique magic apparatus, catalogs and conjuring history.
 
CONDITION NOTES:  Overall in good vintage condition with expected age and handling wear. The covers show edge and corner wear, scuffing and some staining. Interior pages have age toning and occasional spotting, but remain quite clean and readable. There is some oxidation/rust staining around the staples at the center.
