The New York Magic Symposium Collection 5 - Stephen Minch

In 1986 Adam Fleischer transformed his bi-coastal New York Magic Symposium into an international event by holding it in Tokyo, Japan. The annual Symposium collection that resulted in this book features a split column format, with the left hand side in English and the right hand side in Japanese.

Illustrated by Chris Kenner. Japanese Section Written by Phil Goldstein. There are 6 volumes in the NY Magic Symposium collection. The books include material submitted by participants in the symposium, held in the 1980's. Although most of the material is close up magic, there are a few stage and parlor type items. The last volume was to be Collection #6, but instead was published as Spectacle, by Stephen Minch.
Symposium 5 was held in Tokyo, so this volume features special performances by Japanese performers. This collection is written in two columns, left half English, right half in Japanese, and contains some very good material.
