(MAGIC.) Black Herman's Secrets of Magic-Mystery & Legerdemain. Four Volumes in One. Black Herman Comes Through Once Every Seven Years. Illustrated. 8vo, original printed pink wrappers; a few pages with short tears at fore edge. New York: Empire Publishing Company, (1938) E250/350 "Fifteenth Deluxe Edition." Though these books sold in great number at Black Herman's ("The African Zulu") performances, few remain in such good condition because of poor paper quality. Herman's tricks were reportedly passed along by another African-American magician, Prince Herman. Not in Schomburg or Blockson Collections..
