The Life and Times of Augustus Rapp the Small Town ShowmanAugustus RappExcerpt from the introduction by Robert Parrish: It appears that there have always been roving showmen: minstrels, montebanks, travelling players.

Such showmen differ from pure vagabonds in that they have a calling; to perform. This distinguishes them from the great American character the Confidence Man, although the Confidence... | $25 to wish list | |

Getting the Best of your Himber WalletSam DalalTechniques and routines for the Himber Wallet.

When the Himber Wallet is correctly handled, it is far superior to other change wallets, card boxes, or devices that serve the same function. Some wallets allow one to subtly prove no change has been made, when in fact it has. The contents of one side of the wallet can change, while the contents of the opposite... | ★★★★★ $6 to wish list |
