Comments: "The original routines win which Professional Magician Henry Bohlen won the Ring One Trophy and Conjurors' Magazine Award at the IBM Convention in St. Louis, Missouri, June 1946." The George Armstrong edition has all new illustrations by Lamonte, and is 26 pages long. Note the updated cover states "Prize-Winning" vs. "Performance Proven", but the interior title page still says "Performance Proven"
