- Lot Description
Hugard, Jean and Fred Braue. Archive of Over 125 Letters. Beginning Jan. 1, 1943, and concluding Dec. 21, 1943, the archive makes up an entire year of correspondence between the co-authors of some of the century's great textbooks on magic. Hugard describes the working of countless tricks (offering revisions or suggestions for texts), but also outlines business matters between them and interjects bits of gossip and news. Topics include Greater Magic, Carl Jones, Max Holden, preparations for and sales of the Hugard/Braue Miracle Methods series, WWII, Expert Card Technique, Dai Vernon, Charlie Miller, Ted Annemann, Ed Marlo, the New York magic scene (good, bad, and indifferent), and more. Comments on the passing scene and magic books of the era (along with their authors and publishers) are especially detailed. Neatly typed on 4to sheets, most plain, but several being Hugard's Magic Monthly letterhead. Most signed in pen or pencil, "Jean." Though living on opposite coasts, Hugard and Braue collaborated on one of the greatest books on card magic ever published: Expert Card Technique. The pair co-authored many other treatises on sleight-of-hand. This archive represents but one year of correspondence between them.
