Harbin Book

Edited by Martin Breese and designed by Eric Mason, this beautifully illustrated volume was first published in 1983, printed and bound in the UK. Originally inspired by the Harbin Magicassette—one of the most popular audio releases of its time—this unique Robert Harbin book brings Harbin’s words to life in print form.

The text was transcribed from the original Magicassette by the late Owen Griffith, and paired with captivating illustrations by the great Eric Mason. Using a professional photo-litho printing press acquired specifically for this project, Martin Breese personally oversaw the entire production of this hardcover collector's item.

Though long believed to be sold out, a small, forgotten batch of 24 mint-condition copies was recently rediscovered—after 26 years in storage. These rare books feature contributions from magic collectors and historians, including Zee and Chris Woodward, who provided original photographs, programs, and Harbin ephemera.

The Robert Harbin book captures the magic and legacy of one of the true gentlemen of the art. Harbin, who shared the stage with legends like Jasper Maskelyne and Kuda Bux, unknowingly sparked a lifelong passion for magic in a young Martin Breese—who would go on to publish this heartfelt tribute.
