However, his hobby since being a teenager had been Magic, and for over forty years he was a member of the Magic Circle and The International Brotherhood of Magicians. In his early years he was a semi-professional magician and later performed close-up and cabaret magic. His interest extended to his own writings on the theme on magic: he published original tricks in most of the leading magazines and was a historian, lecturing in the UK and America. Later in life, In 2012, he authored Charles Dickens – Conjurer, Mesmerist and Showman , and in 2015 wrote another book: Signor Arvi – The Forgotten Illusionist . Trevor Dawson was a keen and diversified collector, particularly of books, as represented in this Sale. Magical objects, equipment and ephemera can also be found in amongst his collection. The works from his library range from a 1655 edition of Henry Conrnelius Agrippa’s Fourth Book of Occult Philosophy (see lot 183) to modern, limited edition works on magic tricks. Indeed, a range of magical equipment can also be found here. Trevor Dawson was married for 56 years with three children and three grandchildren. He died on July 14th 2017, aged 82.
