Wanted: Magic on the Radio

I'm seeking a book about performing magic on the radio. I've been pointed toward something like "Doing Magic on the Radio," or "Radio Magic," or something like that. The author is John Wade.

I've tried a number of book dealers...anybody have anything?

I'm doing a gag with three large cards (say Jumbo Bikes) and want to produce a glass, or bottle, of Orange Juice after the gag is done.

I'm thinking I can build one of the cards to hold the glass, but it seems faulty for angle reasons....
