Description: Fantastic historical TARBELL SYSTEM INCORPORATED MAGIC COURSE Token, ca 1931. The Token is about 31 mm across and weighs about 8 g. A bit of history. At the suggestion of Harry Houdini, Publishers T. Grant Cooke and Walter A. Jordan approached Harlan Tarbell to produce a correspondence course in magic in the mid-1920s. The publishers offered Tarbell $50,000 for the course. The series sold 10,000 copies until it was discontinued in 1931. In 1941, Louis Tannen purchased the rights to the course and reworked the correspondence lessons into book form and ultimately added three additional volumes. D. Robbins and Co./ E-Z Magic purchased all rights from Tannens in 1962 and is the current publisher and distributor of the Tarbell Course in Magic. The course was so successful that it became a textbook for magicians all over the world. A magician traveling in India offered to buy some of the secrets of a Hindu Fakir and was surprised to learn that they came from the Tarbell Course. In Africa, tribal medicine men asked that the volumes be sent in a plain brown wrapper to keep their followers from learning that their magic came from Chicago.
