Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:4357160 | Modified Item: No |
Unpackaged weight 850gI'm thinking these would be of more value to a collector in magic but... I could be wrong.
Somewhere along my long magical career I inherited these items from one of my mentors Harry Seed, who has now passed away and very much missed. Harry, like many in his time, was a devotee of the legendary Ken Brooke.
There are no props with these sheets and with many of them you need the props Ken sold to do the tricks. But there are also some of his mag...ic teach in instructions.
They're far from new and and have been well worn but considering their age they're in decent condition.
If you're in magic you'll know exactly who Ken Brooke was and the quality of his work, if you're not then thanks to Magicpedia, let me introduce you to:
Magician Ken Brooke (1920-1983) was a magic dealer, a skilled demonstrator and a magical consultant.
Although his public recognition was not great, Ken Brooke had a profound influence on the greats of the UK magic scene, the likes of David Nixon, Paul Daniels, Tommy Cooper, David Berglas and Wayne DobsonBritish magician and magic dealer does not do him justice. Ken Brooke wasn't just another magic dealer. When he sold someone an effect, many times it included his own instructions sheets, which reflected the real experiences of a performer who not only cared about how the tricks should be performed, but who also cared enough to provide information on the proper performance to those who bought his products. Even for those who do not do particular effects that were sold by Ken Brooke, reading these instructions sheets provided real lessons in magic.
