A hardbound collection of close-up magic material from the New York Magic Symposium, held in the 1980s. Collection One is the first volume in the series, published in 1982 — long out of print and increasingly scarce.

- Paul Harris, Michael Ammar, David Roth, Daryl, and Derek Dingle
- Fantasio, John Cornelius, Levent, Larry Becker, and Syldini
- Guest material from Ed Marlo — one of the most influential card magic theorists of the 20th century — along with Tom Mullica, Jon Racherbaumer, Gene Maze, Russell Barnhart, and Roy Walton
Effects cover card, coin, and general close-up magic throughout.
