This is a collection of sixty illusions and illusionettes in a 100 page paperback publication. These are all suitable for the modern stage magician, for those performing a nightclub style act and for the sideshow performer. These are practical illusions that meet today's working conditions--and many can be manufactured at the cost of a few dollars! Featured in this collection: The Artist's Dream, The Zombi Girl Illusion, The Big Opener, Motion Pictures Come To Life, Dunninger's East Indian Rope Trick, A Television Production, Oriental Cabinets, Catch A Ghost, Vanishing Boy, The Pile Driver Illusion, and The Name Plates Illusion, to name but a few. In addition to the sixty illusions explained, there are extra features such as an explicit description on how to build a portable stage back set--Kellar's original patter for his presentation of "The Levitation of The Princess Karnak", rare newspaper advertising and publicity pieces used by famous illusionists such as Thurston, Dante, Nicola, Harry Blackstone, etc., plus two unusual lists of "show and railroad requirements" for the Howard Thurston big show. This book measures 8.5x11 with more than 150 illustrations. Compiled and edited by Neil Foster. Many easy to build and portable ideas in this classic book. A bargain book full of great ideas, building plans, etc.
