JUDAH, Stewart (1893 ? 1966). Judah's Box File of Notes on Magic Tricks. Circa 1930s ? 50s. A collection of handwritten notes by Judah on large, lined index cards. A few with crude illustrations. Judah was one of the ten ?card stars" from Hillard's seminal work, Greater Magic. These notes record the methods behind nearly 200 magic tricks, primarily with playing cards. Neatly written and organized by category (?prediction," ?mathematical," ?four ace," etc.) in an oak card file box with hinged lid. With a carbon list/inventory of the contents. Hilliard wrote of Judah: ?I'd rather see him do a card trick than go to a convention. I have few longings. One of the most insistent is ? to be able to present one cabalistic card problem with the savoir fair of Stewart Judah."
