Seance
Here is an excerpt from the book's introduction, written by Eugene Burger:
Seance first appeared in 1988. As each new issue arrived, I was surprised at the amount of good material that was being contributed. Single effects, entire routines, plot ideas, old methodologies revisited (I loved the piece on the Nelson Enterprises' "Ghost Gun"), thoughts on theory and practice, and much more. The pages of Seance magazine are a gold mine filled with thought-provoking ideas for anyone interested in a magical engagement with ghosts and spirits.
Since 1991, barely a month has gone by without some magician asking about Seance magazine - and where copies might be found. They are extremely hard to find, and a complete file now sells for $200 and up! It was a great source of pleasure to me, therefore, when I learned that Richard Kaufman had acquired the rights to Seance magazine for republication. It is a wonderful journal filled with some magical treasures and I am happy that it will again see the light of day.

This book is a collection of quarterly magazines. The magazines don't appear to be edited, but simply reproduced and bound. However, that is not meant as a negative comment. The quality of the editing, layout and art is very good. The quality of the material is top notch.
I have gone to this source time and again, and if you want to perform seance work or even just an interest in it, you will do the same.
