Comments: Some editions have a photo of the author's daughter, Betty Jane Kolar in it, this copy did not. The edition listed here (on the left, above) also had a "Wheman Brothers" stamp over the Bunting Publications copyright statement, so it is likely a later reprint. I've also seen an edition - pictured at far right with the cover, "Magic for the Millions", but with the same contents. There were two other issues of Magic for the Millions, but the issues 2 and 3 appear to reproduce pages from Dunninger's "Popular Magic", as originally compiled by Science and Invention Magazine in the mid 1920's.
