Harlan Tarbell

[Guest]

Apart from Harlans tarbell course in magic does Harlan have any more books out on Magic. Thanks

[Richard Kaufman]

Tarbell wrote at least a dozen other books: a few short booklets on magic, many separately marketed tricks, and lots of small books published by the Dennison Company of Chicago on Chalk Talk.

doing his seeing with his fingertips act It was a

real slow booring act but that was a long time

ago ( 1930's )" How are you going to keep them

down on the farm ?".....Mike
