JARRETT, Guy (1881 – 1972). Jarrett Magic and Stage Craft Technical. [New York]: Author, 1936. FIRST EDITION. Blue cloth lettered black. Numerous full-page plates with diagrams of stage illusions and plans, reproducing letters, and other illustrations. 8vo. Shaken, backstrip rubbed, small ownership stamp to ffep, a few pencil notations. Jarrett printed approximately 500 copies of his magnum opus on a table-top hand press, writing the text as he set the type; he only owned enough letterforms to compose one page at a time. Then Jarrett collated, bound, advertised, and sold the books himself. The work remains a testament to the author’s originality, as many of his revolutionary ideas remain in use among stage magicians in the modern era.
