Takagi, Shigeo. Collection of Shigeo Takagi - Jeff Busby Correspondence. Spanning 1977 - 86, and comprised of over 75 pages of letters, orders, and associated paperwork, including many carbons of Busby's replies. Many of the letters regard Takagi's solid cup effect, magic books (both in English and Japanese), and related matters. Neatly organized. Takagi (1930 - 91) was considered a great scholar of magic, and authored dozens of books not only about conjuring, but hypnosis, puzzles, psychology, and other subjects. He worked as a translator for the Japanese equivalent of the Library of Congress, and translated countless Western works into his native language.
