ALLAN SLAIGHT

The McCord Museum’s acquisition of one of the world’s foremost private collections of stone lithographs from magic’s Golden Age generated a huge amount of press.

While the news of this donation is big, for those who know Gattusso and Slaight, it is not the least bit surprising.

Stewart James in Print and The James File are two of the largest magic books ever published (the James File is actually two volumes, but I consider it a single work). They comprise over 2700 pages and over 1000 tricks.
