This lot is a group of 8 different issues of the Richard’s Almanac magic newsletter written, illustrated, and published by Richard Kaufman in the 1980s. It ran for 36 issues, plus 4 extra issues free for subscribers. Generally, the newsletter included 4-6 tricks by notable magicians, and a news/opinion section entitled “Bull”. The newsletter ran monthly for the first two years, 12 issues plus a Winter and a Summer Extra bonus issue each year. In it’s third year the newsletter became a quarterly, and three of the issues were late. The final issue, intended for Winter 1985, was published in February 1987. The newsletter centered around close-up magic, and as could be expected, most of the items are card or coin tricks. A large variety of contributors wrote for the newsletter including but not limited to Larry Jennings, Jay Sankey, Derek Dingle, Mike Gallo, Bro. John Hamman, J.K Hartman and Geoff Latta.

• September 1982 (Volume 1, Number 1)
