In 1959, Werry published 15 typewritten manuscripts with descriptions of tricks from America and England. Each manuscript cost one whole mark (plus VAT) in Germany at the time.
In no time, the series was sold out. Decades passed before Eberhard Liebenow and then Werner Miller took on the task, revising and supplementing the typed pages.
> In 1991 Werry was able to announce the new edition!
> This new German-language version of the Supreme Manuscript series is now finally available in a condensed form – a 60-page booklet. 44 clear illustrations help you quickly understand the 36 descriptions of the tricks.
Read works by Prof. Butler, John Scarne, Lesta, Stewart James, Percy Abbott, UFGrant, Jack Yates, Bob Hummer, Allan Lambie, Joe Ovette, Rajah, Ken Allen, Eldon Nichols, El Ray, Eddie Joseph and others.
All effects are field-tested, one of them (Ken Allen's 'Pull Thru') won first prize for originality at the New York State Convention in Binghampton.
