Didn't Sam Schwartz publish/market something similar, the packet trick with the mirrors at the end?

Seems like the basic concept (creating an instant stooge) is pretty old, although I don't remember the precise idea of using it in a restaurant setting though.

Do you have a link to this article, I would like to read it in it's entirety, but are you sure the piece wasn't meant to be mostly humorous? The only group of people I recall being universally disliked were lawyers/politicians.

Who was it who suggested practicing while playing music, because it would help you to learn to ignore/tune out ambient noise?

Paperback or not, I'm not sure I'd want to mark up a book I paid 35 bucks for. Just curious, what exactly are the changes in this edition?

I see this hack writer is back, this time purporting to reveal the secrets of professional card magic.

You don't need a beam, almost any heavy object you can put a rope around will do. Doorknobs, plumbing underneath a faucet ....If you can't hang from something, you can always do it garrotte-style by spinning around like an alligator till it tightens., that how they do it in prison.

"Wow--that's quite a collection for 3 Benjamins"

indeed, glad they chose to include Sleight Of Mouth, it would have been a shame to let that great tome of magical comedy be lost.

Not all that surprising, those bible-belt bozos think Harry Potter is demonic.

Who "influenced" the most magicians from that list? That's a rather difficult question! Influence in what way? If you change the word magician to writer, then it's probably Erdnase or whatever his (or her) name is. If you change the word to writer, I would suggest Jean Hugard and Frederic...
