Al Jaffee's Mad Book of Magic and Other Dirty Tricks

Al Jaffee's Mad Book of Magic and Other Dirty Tricks is a five-issue series from Warner Books (1976–1988) that captures the irreverent, gag-driven spirit of Mad magazine through the singular lens of its legendary cartoonist, Al Jaffee. Each volume is a playful collection of magic tricks, pranks, and visual gags, showcasing Jaffee’s signature blend of deadpan humor and clever, hands-on mischief. While brief in its run, the series stands as a delightful artifact of Jaffee’s long career, offering readers a chance to interact with his comedy beyond the page.
