Hey guys,
I recently saw one of Jason England's posts where he outlines the history of the Strike Second Deal... This inspired me to ask two questions here:
Firstly, does anyone have any suggestions on notable magic books which are still available (if such exist on any sort of regular basis) - the catch being that it must have been distributed before the commencement of the 20th Century, i.e. Pre 1900?
The other question I have is even more specific and obscure: Does anyone know of any texts on gambling/cheating with cards, or magic/conjuring in general - and again, here's the killer catch - which has been written in Latin, preferrably Golden Age Latin? No translated-into-English editions please, only original Latin.
I don't expect an answer for the latter, incidentally - it is only to satiate my curiosity, but I would be very impressed if anyone knew of one.
