Advanced Fingertip Control
Advanced Fingertip Control Artist(s): Edward Marlo Author(s): Edward Marlo Published by: Randy Wakeman Page Count, Binding and Illustrations: 157 Pages, Comb Bound, Photo Illustrated Originally a private release by Edward Marlo in 1970, and like many of his other privately distributed works, Advanced Fingertip Control contains many effects and techniques that came as a wonderful surprise to those expecting only techniques, as suggested by the title. After all these years, it is surprising how little known and seldom used Eddie's efforts are during the present time. By releasing this information, Randy Wakeman hopes that the power of this knowledge will be unleashed to a greater degree.

Volumes 11 - 15 Will you get your money's worth from Apocalypse? Harry Lorayne has always given much more than your money's worth. Listen to a few of the many unsolicited remarks re: Volume II. "I'm the one who wrote to tell you that I would have paid the price of the book for only Two Shuffles Harry (Volume I). Well, I'd do the same for The Sting." "Thanks, Harry, for The Count of Mountie Crystal. I can't wait for Volume III." "I've been in magic for over forty years. I can't remember enjoying any publication more." And many more along the same vein. And in this volume alone there are over 325 card and close to 100 coin effects, routines, ideas, and over 135 more effects: balloon tricks, ring tricks, bill tricks, purse tricks, pen tricks, thumbtip tricks, wristwatch tricks, sugar cube tricks, thimbles, sponge balls, chains, canes, book tests, ice, soda cans, business cards, dice stacking, paper folding/cutting/tearing, paper punches, wallets, credit cards, toothpicks, and more.

Who has ever performed even a simple magic trick in front of a child knows what the meaning of astonishment and amazement means!

Enjoyment, colors and rhythm are the keys to success with such a demanding audience, yet who have such desire to enjoy themselves. If you are a great fan or even a simple beginner, this book will open the door to the "real magic", transforming you from a common mortal to a mysterious (but comical) performer! Within these pages you will find everything you'll need to put on a terrific performance: from the clothing to the scenery, from the tricks to the overall organization, helping you to having a constant eye open in cultivating a relationship with the audience. It will also be explained how to make the kids participate, how to make them laugh, how to amaze them with magical tricks in a very natural and spontaneous manner: a show that they will not easily forget.

CREATIVE CLOWNING by BLANCO…
Bruce Fife, Tony Blanco, Steve Kissell, Bruce Johnson, Ralph Dewey, Hal Diamond, Jack Wiley and Gene Lee have teamed together to put together this fine 8-1/2" x 11" softbound book on clowning. It has chapters on the art of clowning, clown face, mime, balloons, music, etc., etc., etc. There is a lot of information packed into this teaching book, which has 224 pages. The only thing I find wrong with this book is that they left our name off, under suppliers. But don't worry, we stick a big sticker in that part of the book, so you'll know where to get your props at the lowest price.
