James William Elliott – Elliott's Last Legacy
PDF
Elliott was a very popular magician. Particularly some of his card effects were considered best of its kind. Nobody knew the secrets to some of Elliott's tricks. People waited impatiently for the release of this book. But it was met with some disappointment that not all of Elliott's tricks were described. We do not know which tricks these critics mean. The reason might well be that Elliott died before he could finish his book. Burgess and [url=]Houdini[/url] had to collect Elliott's notes and fill in some of the missing explanations. However， Elliott and Houdini believed that all the material in this book was new and has never before been published.
