HOOKER, Dr. Samuel Cox (1864 ? 1935). Five Letters Signed by Dr. Samuel Hooker. New York, 1915 - 16. Including four ALSs and one TLS on his 82 Remsen Street letterhead, all written to fellow magician Robert Ankele. Hooker writes about visiting Ankele (?calling to see him"), and regarding a purchase of various books for his fabled magic collection. With one original mailing cover addressed in Hooker's hand, and bearing Ankele's notations. Each letter SIGNED, ?Samuel C. Hooker" or initialed ?SCH." A RARE grouping of letters from the man who created and performed the legendary ?Impossibilities," an impossible, inexplicable version of the Rising Cards.
