First book of magic
"The first book of magic tricks appeared in 1584"

Well that seems to be highly dependant on your definition. We know that a twenty-one force variation was demonstrated to the emperor of Austria in 1572, and that certainly qualifies as a "magic book". We also have blow books dating into the 1450s. Maury Markowitz (talk) 16:53, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
