Premiere Slate MysteryEdwin A. French Here is French's personal method of making a "spirit answer" appear on a borrowed slate ... while sealed inside an envelope and held by a spectator.

If you've wanted to perform a Q&A (question and answer) type of mental act, this title is one you should add to your library. In our opinion, the tips and suggestions from editor T. A. Whitney are alone worth the investment. "If you are looking for something... | ★★★★★ $8 to wish list |
