Sold today as Magic Coloring Book, for centuries these have been known as Blow Books. Senior Antonio Blitz worked from the 1830's through the 1860's. He possessed a rare hand-illustrated version. Kept constantly wrapped in heavy paper, he only unwrapped it while performing. This suggests he considered it to be of great value. We offer a few suggestions so that you can get the most response from this 200-plus-year-old marvel.
Note: This download video does not explain how the blow book is gimmicked or how to make one yourself. It is a common dealer item. The video provides a tip on how to improve the prop and how to perform it.

★★★★★ Date Added: Wednesday 24 June, 2026I was shown this a few years ago. There is a wonderful display taught that really solidifies the color-changing pages. It is natural and definitely enhances the magical nature of this effect. If you perform this trick in any capacity, this idea is well worth a few bucks.

★★★★★ Date Added: Sunday 21 June, 2026I'm a big fan of Mr. Tilley's magic (and would be even if he weren't a college friend). This product illustrates what a gorgeous trick the Blow Book is and offers useful advice about performing it.

★★★★★ Date Added: Friday 13 February, 2026This is worthless. It is 40 seconds long. In a video, he shows you how to flip through the Magic Coloring Book, the world's most common and well-known kidshow prop. He gives one tip, which is absolutely the most common tip given by anyone who mentions the prop in any book or lecture.
