The Greater Magic Library Vol 5 - John Northern Hilliard

Greater Magic was released in 1938 as an encyclopedia of magic intended specifically for magicians, not the general public. It was only distributed and advertised within the conjuring world. It covers magic with cards, silks, billiard balls, sponge balls, cups & balls, coins, cigarettes and cigars, bills, ropes, the linking rings, mentalism, magic squares, apparatus magic, stage illusions, and more.

In 1956 a five volume edition "The Greater Magic Library" by A.S. Barnes and Company (in association with Carl Jones) was released.
