Imagine being able to tell someone the direction of their house when you are both stood in the middle of nowhere that you have both never been to before.

Imagine being able to get from one location to another via walking or driving without the use of maps, GPS, or compasses because you just "know where to go".

Imagine being driven to a city you have never been to before. You get out of the car and are blindfolded and taken to a new location within the city. Upon removing the blindfold you can then instantly begin walking in the direction of the car and eventually return back to it without...

Mr. Clark presented it with great success during his engagements at New York City's famous Rainbow Room and Loew's State Theater on Times Square.

Das persöhnliche Merkbuch von Charly Eperny vom Jahre 1961. Wärend dieser Zeit lebte Eperny in Wien. In mehr als 250 Seiten mit handschriftlichen Aufzeichnungen in Wort und Bild finden sie die schönsten und verwunderlichsten Zaubereien beschrieben.
