I Coltelli Da Frutta Del NonnoJim Sisti Ecco una semplice ed efficace routine di coltellini che cambiano colore creata da Jim Sisti che ci presenta la routine in questione arricchita da una gustosa presentazione che prende spunto dalle sue origini italiane: Jim infatti, dopo aver dimenticato il suo set di coltellini in un cassetto per anni (a detta sua, non trovava una presentazione adeguata per la sua routine), decise di riprendere a lavorarci, dopo una reunion di famiglia in cui vide tutti gli anziani di famiglia riunirsi a fine pasto per sbucciare la frutta con i propri coltellini tascabili!

Secrets of the Great MysteriesOudini Clearly 'Oudini' is riding Harry Houdini's coat tails with his escape act. However, this publication is quite good and does describe a good number of escapes including how to escape from handcuffs, iron boiler, mail bag, glass case, iron box, coffin, band box, paper bag, iron bottle, rope chair, tramp chair packing case and straight jacket.

Harry Houdin: The Great Polynational MimicTom Interval Introducing Harry Houdin—one of the most versatile performers you've never heard of. Born decades before the great Harry Houdini, he claimed to be the nephew of Jean Eugène Robert-Houdin, the famous French conjurer of the 19th century.
Houdin, who billed himself as "The Great Polynational Mimic," toured Australia and New Zealand between 1860 and 1863 with a one-man act featuring drawing-room magic and international impersonations done to song and dance.
Harry Houdin: The Great Polynational Mimic is the first formal work of research written about this virtually unknown, albeit colorful, entertainer.

Novel Card Effects with a Gumball MachineDevin Knight This is one of the most novel ways ever devised for doing both mental and card effects. Devin Knight shows you how to buy a gumball machine bank and gimmick it in a few minutes to allow for some of the most baffling poker demonstrations and card effects ever devised. These are regular gumball banks that sell in toy stores for around $10 to $20. Gumballs are marked with card values from A to K using a fine-tip Sharpie. Once this is done, you have everything you need to create miracles.
Sleights appear impossible as the hole cards come from the machine, and the hands to play are freely chosen... | $18 to wish listPDF |
Second Sight Secrets and Mechanical MagicDr. Herman Pinetti This is a curious old magic book explaining the spirit cabinet, dancing handkerchief, a method to levitate a human, a method to let a table float.
