A Collaboration of Masters: Elliott, Houdini, and Burgess

They painstakingly compiled Elliott's notes, filling in crucial explanations to ensure his groundbreaking material saw the light of day. Both Elliott and Houdini firmly believed that every piece of material within these pages was entirely 'new and previously unpublished,' offering a fresh perspective even today.

While Elliott was particularly acclaimed for his card wizardry – encompassing 'Elliott's Palm Advantage,' 'Animated Cards,' 'The Elliott Method of Card Marking,' and numerous original productions and controls – the collection extends far beyond. Delve into intriguing effects involving balls ('The Floating Ball,' 'Vanished Beyond Recovery'), bottles ('A Chameleon Bottle,' 'The Milk Baby'), boxes ('Japanese Magic Occidentalized'), and even candy ('Just Enough, Yet An Abundance').

James William Elliott – Elliott's Last Legacy
Elliott was a very popular magician. Particularly some of his card effects were considered best of its kind. Nobody knew the secrets to some of Elliott's tricks. People waited impatiently for the release of this book. But it was met with some disappointment that not all of Elliott's tricks were described. We do not know which tricks these critics mean. The reason might well be that Elliott died before he could finish his book. Burgess and Houdini had to collect Elliott's notes and fill in some of the missing explanations. However, Elliott and Houdini believed that all the material in this book was new and has never before been published.
1st edition, 1923, Adams; reprint, 1980, Coles, Canada; 324 pages.
