Comments: Originally published by Harry Stanley in three separate parts (1955, 1956, 1958), Supreme magic put out a combined edition. In 2009, Martin Breese and Paul Gordon did a complete remake of all three parts in one volume with new photos taken by Martin Breese and posed by Paul Gordon. This latter edition is available as an e-Book from Lybrary.com
