This is a wonderous trip through “old time” spook show magic.
For $10 any performer of bizarre or ghostly magic will find something useable in here. Recommended!
Sensational Spirit Cabinet Act
Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by Don Bursell
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Wednesday 04 May, 2022)
I like the method of tying in this short manuscript. It is easy to perform the "manifestations" yet still appear to remain tied. I will admit that I have never performed this spirit cabinet routine, but have helped others perform this method in their own shows. This covers enough "effects" that you can choose to use some or all of them, and still have a good, full routine.
A Lifetime in Magic
Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by Devin Knight

This is a wonderful book on the life of Percy Abbott, it still leaves you wondering if he was a good guy or bad guy. The information that he shares about the famous magicians he knew is enlightening. Where people like Walter Gibson sugar coated the truth, Abbott gives the real low down and dirt on some of the people, including the ongoing disagreement between Howard Thurston and his brother, Harry. It is a shame that he didn't go into his falling out with Blackstone. There is little about the Abbott Magic Company, but he said if he lived, he would write about it. That never happened, still this is a must read for magic history buffs.
