same! am hunting the 4th book and have retired a few times and nothing.. been farming on floor 2 for about 17 hours now.

5-4 chance to appear every time a random event triggers so if you retire and stay in the basement for the next 8 hours in-game time after that, you can expect to get 26 random events on average which means about 65 chance that you will get it. 5-4 chance to appear every time a random event triggers so if you retire and stay in the basement for the next 8 hours in-game time after that, you can expect to get 26 random events on average which means about 65 chance that you will get it.

But the true magic lies not only in the stories themselves but in the atmosphere that permeates the library. Soft, golden light filters through stained-glass windows, casting a vibrant glow on the worn wooden floors. The smell of parchment and ink fills the air, creating an intoxicating symphony of scents that beckons readers to immerse themselves in the wondrous realm of the written word.

The magic lbrary

I have a few magic books I'm going to be donating to two nearby public libraries. Which got me thinking, I remember one book on magic I found in the NY Public Library was an old book by Bill Tarr. I can't remember the title of the book. For those of you who started magic from books at your local library, what were the titles you came across? Thanks!

Now You See It, Now You Don't or The Second Now You See it, Now You Don't.

There may have been a third soft cover large format book, but I cannot remember the title.

Later was a hardbound book of his notes called something like The Now You See It, Now You Don't Notebook.

When I started in the 70s, it was hard to find reading materials. The first books I came across were from public libraries. The one I remember the most was John Scarne on Card Tricks.

When my childhood library relocated, I was lucky enough to obtain many of the actual books with which I began my magical journey. I have both Joseph Leeming books Fun with magic and More Fun with magic , Clayton Rawson's The Golden Book of Magic , Walter Gibson's The Master Magicians and both Blackstone books, Secrets of Magic and Modern Card Tricks .

Others that I remember fondly are the aforementioned Scarne book as well as his Scarne's Magic Tricks , Hokus Pokus by Ib Permin, Pure Magic! by Henry Gross, Patrick Page's The Big Book of Magic and Henry Hay's The Amateur Magician's Handbook .

I could go on and on about this topic as I regularly visited about nine or ten libraries near me when I was younger to find treasures. One library had all of Bruce Elliott's books and another had the entire Tarbell course!

I spent a lot of time in section 793.8 and developed a love of magic, libraries and books because of it. Good memories.

You can still find the "Book Club Edition" (1950) combining Scarne's Card Tricks book and his Scarne's Magic Tricks book into one delightful hardcover. There's a lifetime of GOOD MAGIC here for a mere pittance.

Shop e-bay and other used book sources for either the combined publication or the separate editions and you won't be sorry. (Great illustrations, too!)

Purchased mine many years ago when I was just beginning in magic and started buying magic books.

Someone once said that if you want to fool someone, get the trick out of a magic book.

The Magic Library had me in stiches for days, it was the best Panto I have ever seen. My family are still talking about it.
