A matching, collector-grade set that rarely appears together in this condition.Priced at a steep discount to sell fast. Only one available, so act now!What This Is: The Complete Tarbell Course in Magic
The Tarbell Course in Magic remains one of the most important and comprehensive courses ever written on the art of magic. Created by Harlan Tarbell, these eight volumes systematically teach everything from the most basic principles and sleights through advanced routines, mentalism, stage illusions, and professional presentation. Generations of magicians—from hobbyists to working professionals—have used Tarbell as their primary training ground.
This is a complete matching set of all eight hardcover volumes, each with its original dust jacket. Complete sets in hardcover with jackets are increasingly difficult to find together. Individual volumes appear more often, but a full, uniform set with the jackets intact is a genuine library piece. The books are illustrated throughout by Tarbell himself and cover more than 100 detailed lessons totaling thousands of pages.
Whether you are building a serious magic library, looking for the original source material behind countless classic effects, or simply want the definitive course that shaped the art, this is the real thing. Ready for your collection.
