Everything you ever wanted to know about the Afghan Bands is here. This was well researched and a great reference guide in the bibliography to other publications mentioning the Afghan Bands.
The Jastrow Illusion in Magic
Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by Chris Sutton (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Monday 24 April, 2023)
For $10 it's not a bad overview.
However, I was expecting more details about the many, many routines that have used the Jastrow Illusion.
Historically. Pretty Cool.
Giving details to help flush out your own routine? Not so much.
For $10 not bad. I just wish there was more meat on the bones.
The Box Goes-In-Da Box

Best thing about this item is the blue print to make your own Gozinta boxes. The Historical background of the creator is appreciated.
The Jastrow Illusion in Magic
Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by Horst Paffen
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Sunday 28 February, 2021)
An interesting overview of an equally interesting topic. However, Johann Joseph Oppel (1815-1894), mentioned on page 4, was not a psychologist, but a versatile man. He was mainly a pedagogue, physicist, and dialect researcher. He is considered the founder of scientific research into the Frankfurt (Main) dialect in Germany.

A pretty good read. Has a lot of history and research that I didn't know about the 'boomerangs'.
The Jastrow Illusion in Magic

Review title: Not enough information.
I’ve always liked the Jastrow illusion, and even use it in my walk around performing. So I bought this booklet, hoping to expand my knowledge of the illusion, and possibly be inspired by other designs I was not aware of.
It’s good, but doesn’t really go any further than what I already knew of. It shows about 6 or 7 different versions, all of which I’m aware of or own. It talks about the history of the illusion, but I felt it could have covered a whole lot more versions of it that have been released over the years. (I did a search of this in Google and found 100s of historical examples.)
Overall, it was good, but not enough information, I felt, to warrant a $10 price tag.
The Box Goes-In-Da Box

In regards to the article Triple Gozinta Boxes I think you have a vision to bring the box up-to modern times and materials and I admire you for you taking on a challenge that although problems at first a day will come and Gozinta boxes will be in use again not lost Lubor Fiedler creative mind gave the magic world a wonderful prop. Card board ones are selling on ebay for £149.50.
So "The Box Goes-In-Da Box" by Peter Prevos was an excellent addition to my library marine ply or balsa wood or perspex may be a choice for me. I hope to see your perseverance with this project.
