Dunningers Monument to Magic. 1974 First Edition by Joseph Dunninger

Details: Although “The Amazing Dunninger” has never called himself “the world’s greatest magician,” he has more right to that title than any other man or woman – living or dead. It is only fitting that he – the last of the truly great magicians – should have compiled this monument to magic. As a tribute to men of mysticism, he presents letters, photos, posters, and other memorabilia of the outstanding conjurers, escape artists, mentalists, sleight-of-hand experts, and illusionists who thrilled and amazed the world throughout the decade. Most of this material is being published for the first time.
