Marvelous Creations of Joseffy by David P. Abbott: 1908 scarce

This 1908 small book was written by David Abbott best known for his House of Mysteries.

Joseffy was a genius ahead of his time.  He was thought of in terms of reverence by magicians of his day. His inventions were spectacular even by today’s standards including Balsamo the Talking Skull and His growing Die.  The book is rarely found in this condition being 112 years old and typically fragile. It has been reproduced but this is the original published by Open Court Publishing in 1908. It is 28 pages.
