Re: How to butcher Interlude on national television
I'm always surprised when people use it as a publicity shot
with various contortions & twists clearly visible
A google image search will show you some shockers
I like the illusion in the right hands
but it seems a very easy one to do very badly

Re: What's the best magic book you've found at a bargain books store?
Many years ago I found a 2nd Edition 1860 Memoirs of Robert Houdin. $6
A few years ago - The Unmasking of Robert-Houdin 1908. I think I paid $20
Also found one of the earliest Magic Catalogues ever published in Australia.
