In this issue:
- Herbert Milton was a British magician active between the 1920s and 1960, both in public schools, private parties and at St. George’s Hall, London’s home of mystery. He was also a very creative illusionist and chances are that today you are using one of his tricks or principles. His grandson, Nicholas Milton, has opened his family’s scrapbooks to tell us his fascinating story
- Our publisher, noted magic historian Marco Pusterla, examines a book that has been responsible for what we know about the youth of the great Bartolomeo Bosco, Il Tre Paletti. But is it all as it seems?
- How much magic has gone under the hammer in the last quarter? This issue dedicates a large number of pages to the most unusual magical items in our regular Auction Action column, with reviews of the last auctions of the collections of Eddie Dawes and Kreskin, together with other unusual and rare magic memorabilia!
- The beloved Chewing the (Magic) Fat column returns with more magic information that you can throw a stick at!
