Eyes of the GodsJohn HamiltonAn exceedingly clever location of two cards using the Free Cut Principle by the inventor of this beautiful principle.

The True History of Pepper's GhostJohn Henry PepperJohn Henry Pepper took a projection invention of Henry Dircks, called The Ghost, with his permission, and made it practical so that it could more easily be performed.

Dircks wanted to have his name associated with it. This prompted Dircks to write The Ghost.

John Mendoza Lecture: 1982 in United KingdomJohn MendozaOn August 2nd, 1982, Martin Breese organized a John Mendoza lecture, which was taped for later release as a video. But Martin being the busy publisher he was had so many other projects to work on that he never got around releasing this recording. We rescued the recording from two old Umatic tapes Martin gave to me. Since this was recorded in the early 80s do not expect a high definition video. But it is nevertheless a good recording of Mendoza's lecture. The video has some flaws here and there with stripes, ghost images, and an occasional blackout. The audio track has no noticeable blackouts or problems.... | $25 to wish listMP4 (video) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
