Greater Magic: A Practical Treatise On Modern Magic by John Northern Hilliard was a book of his manuscripts and notes were edited by Carl W. Jones and Jean Hugard. Dedicated to Angelo Lewis (Professor Hoffmann), author of Modern Magic, it was released in 1938 as an encyclopedia of magic intended specifically for magicians, not the general public. It was only distributed and advertised within the conjuring world. It covers magic with cards, silks, billiard balls, sponge balls, cups & balls, coins, cigarettes and cigars, bills, ropes, the linking rings, mentalism, magic squares, apparatus magic, stage illusions, and more.
In, 1932 Carl W. Jones came up with the title "Greater Magic". Hilliard loved the title, telling Jones to copyright it right away. Over the next three years Hilliard kept working on the book until his sudden death in 1935. Only a third of the book was complete, with a huge amount of material still residing in Hilliard's notebooks.
In the 1990s, a box full of old magic catalogs was sold at an auction in middle America. At the bottom of this box, and not even listed in the contents, were two old notebooks with hundreds of typed pages in brown leatherette bindings. They were the lost notebooks of John Northern Hilliard.
