#1Hello,
Here are a few extra books I have. If interested email me. Thanks, John
Joseph Lorey and the Lorey Handcuff; by John Bushey; 2008 complete article for the unreleased 2008 annual. Also includes all research material,
including letters from Lorey to Governor pleading for pardon, legal papers, two photos of Lorey, photos of all 3 known cuffs, etc...
Lots of great research. spiral bound. soft covers. Less than 20 copies printed. price: $25.00
Modern Handcuff Secrets; first ed. 1957; taped spine, slightly soiled cover. price: $12.00
The Famous Houdini The Original Jail Breaker and Hand Cuff King; @1907; by Houdini; reproduction of a very rare original Houdini
pitchbook from my collection. I only made 12 copies and this is an extra I kept around here. Great biographical info on Houdini.
Many photos of Houdini in restraints. price; $10.00
The Sphinx Magazine: October, 1939; Great Hardeen issue with red & white cover with photo of Harden kneeling in cuffs and Leg irons.
Nice article inside. price; $12.00
Thrilling Episodes of John Clempert: reproduction of original pitchbook once in my collection. I made 12 copies. this is one of them.
John Clempert was a Russian who did a hanging by the neck act, and then turned escape artist. 20 pages. Great autobiography of Houdini
contemporary escape artist. Price: $10.00
Magic Made Easy: by Houdini; 16 pages. Reproduction of original from Ed Miller collection. I only had 6 copies of this one made.
many of my rare pitchbooks I've had reproduced in case of fire, theft, or whatever. Many of them there are less than 190 known copies
and I felt it my duty to at least help preserve the information. So, these reproductions do me no good here. 8.5 x 11 inches; price: $8.00
Thats it. I do have a scarce book as well; Walter gibson's Houdini's Magic, 1932 in original dust jacket. the dust jacket for this one
is quite scarce, while the book is common. But, due to original dust jacket the price is a lot more. Price: $125.00 (I've seen them
many times listed for over $300).
Just drop me a line if you have any interest in any of them. I appreciate your time looking. Best Wishes, John Bushey
