The legendary British Inventor, Craftsman, and Dealer, Jack Hughes, invented many staples in magic that we
take for granted today (including: TV Card Frame (1936), Coins in Glass (before Copenetro) (1939),
Attaboy (early 1930s), Clatter Box (1951) and many more.

I grew up in the UK dreaming of owning some Jack Hughes effects. It was clear that the House of Hughes
was producing some of the best magic around. I was able to buy a few of his items, but for the most
part his effects were too expensive for my pocket.

Thirty years on, it is a wonderful pleasure to look through these impressive volumes to relive so much
of Jack’s magic. These books are beautifully produced and give very detailed instructions on how to
build nearly all of the House of Hughes magic.
