How To Make Your Eyes FlashDevin Knight A classic effect from the early days of magic catalogs. An effect that every kid wanted to order so he could impress his friends. Ads for this trick appeared in early Boy's Life and in comic books. It's an effect that is still effective today but is almost forgotten.
It is a little known secret that is even being used by some rock bands today to make their eyes flash during concerts.
Here is the ad copy from an early Vick Lawston magic catalog.
EFFECT: Create a real magical effect! Used by many magicians. By simply blinking your eyes open and shut, it seems as if streaks of lightning... | ★★★★★ $4 to wish listPDF |

Thayer Quality Magic Volume 4Floyd Gerald Thayer & Glenn G. Gravatt 
Excerpt from the introduction:
One of the popular magic magazines of the twenties was published by Thayer under the name of Thayer's Magical Bulletin. The publication contained, along with news of magicians, etc., instructions for many fine tricks. Thayer also issued regularly a small house organ of about six pages called Thayer's Magical Ballygram. These were not dated, although No. 25 mentions the year 1928, No. 32, the year 1929, and No. 42, the year 1931. I have Nos. 1 to 70 but understand that there were 12 more issued later. The Ballygram mainly described the new tricks that came out since Thayer's last catalog,... | $24.50 to wish listPDF |
