Last Train to SpookvilleWill Andrade & B. W. McCarronA four-act spirit seance in a box. A bell placed in the cabinet rings out answers to questions.

Knowing The Rising Cards (Know-How Series)Will AylingSurprisingly little has been published in an encyclopedic form about the classic rising cards in English. You can find some in Greater Magic but the rest is spread out in many books and journals. Although this publication can hardly be called an encyclopedia, it is one of only two publications in English I know which are entirely dedicated to the rising card effect (the other being 25 Rising Card Tricks). It is a wonderful collection of a number of methods, described clearly with photos and illustrations. This was part of the Supreme 'Know How' series. If rising cards are your thing you should also check out... | ★★★★★ $9.50 to wish list | |

Knowing the Chop Cup (Know-How Series)Will AylingThe Chop Cup turns a sleight-of-hand classic - the cups and balls - almost into a self working miracle. Of course, to perform a strong Chop Cup routine you will still need a good amount of sleight of hand and misdirection, but a lot of the 'work' is done by the cup itself. Al Wheatley is credited with the invention of the Chop Cup. Will Ayling collects in this ebook a series of strong Chop Cup routines including Ken Brooke's routine. This was part of the Supreme Know-How Series. 1st edition 1989; original 40 pages; PDF 56 pages.

The LilliputiansWill AylingAn adventure into glove and rod puppet theatre. From the introduction: The need for a puppet show being established, the selection of type both of figures and presentation raised problems. The marionette string puppet, operated mostly from above, has an indirect application and limited movement in spite of considerable flexibility of joints. Rod puppets worked mostly from below, also suffer limitations, their movements restricted and stylised. Certainly both types require more than one hand to effectively operate one figure and are best suited to the traditional proscenium staging. ... | $10 to wish list | |

Effective ConjuringWill BlythFrom the introduction: Every item has been presented by the author, not only before the general public, who may generally be relied on to give audible expressions of their likes and dislikes, but also before meetings of conjurers, where candid criticism has resulted in filling up several possible pitfalls and leaving everything fairly even and workable. Most of my previous works on conjuring have dealt with specific subjects, such as paper, match-sticks, handkerchiefs, coins, etc. The present volume, however, contains a variety of useful effects which, if presented with due regard to the... | ★★★★★ $15 to wish list | |

The first part, comprising tricks necessitating special coins or apparatus, will involve a little outlay.
