Field notes
The announced guide is designed to connect each routine, technique, and principle to its published lineage, rather than simply summarize Corinda’s book. Its planned reference material ranges from bibliographic records and contributor histories to everyday postwar details such as Treble Chance pools and Picture Post. The author section identifies Ian Fenn as an Associate of The Inner Magic Circle and notes his earlier book, Magic on the Air.
