Comments: Third and final volume of the compilation of The
Compleat Invocation, a compilation of the journal of
Bizarre magic.
Aside: A brief History of Invocation (from my understanding, some
info from Genii's Magicpedia):
- Started by Tony Raven and Tony Andruzzi in 1974. Invocation
magazine ran from 1974 to 1978 for 16 issues
- In 1979, Tony Andruzzi took the helm as The New Invocation
for 1979 to 1996 through issue 61.
- In 1990 Docc Hilford took over editorship for issues 62-83
(which have not been reprinted to date)
- Tony Raven published a compilation Invocation in
hardcover of issues 1-16.
- In 1986, Richard Kaufman worked with Tony Andruzzi to compile The
Compleat Invocation Volume 1 and 2, which came in a single
binder, and later into a combined version under a single cover.
These covered the original 16 issues of Invocation, and
issues 1-36 of The New Invocation.
- Richard Kaufman also released Volume 3 as a separate volume,
including Issues 37-61.
- I have also seen a reference to compiled versions of the first
and second years of Invocation, apparently limited to only
20 copies.
