Typed letter signed by Frederick Eugene Powell on his letterhead in which he mentions Okito and Mr. Petrie from Petrie and Lewis. He also mentions the new rising cards effect he saw at a magic gathering, “The one advertised for $75. For my own use, I would not give FIVE CENTS for it. I can get a better effect for the layman with a five-cent spool of black silk. As a PIECE OF MECHANISM it is GREAT, but as a trick ROTTEN.” Old mailing folds, else in very good condition.
