Self-Working Rope Magic
More Books
For centuries, rope tricks have been the staples of the magician's repertoire. Surprisingly, many of the best ones are "self-working," meaning they do not require unusual dexterity or long hours of practice. This excellent guidebook, written by one of today's foremost authorities on magic, presents 70 of the best, most amazing self-working rope tricks ever devised - tricks that amateur magicians can master in a short time.
After a brief introduction and a section devoted to acquiring and preparing the proper ropes, Karl Fulves begins the book by introducing rope tricks based on simple overhand knots, slip knots and square knots. These are followed by such tricks as the Vishnu Rope Mystery and the Hindu Turban Mystery in the chapter entitled Cut-and-Restored Rope. In Ropes That Think, he demonstrates such fascinating maneuvers as Liar's Ropes and Séance. You'll also learn how to do a one-hand figure eight, perform a double-ring ceremony and present each routine with a professional flourish.
This fun publication is easy to read and follow and is loaded with illustrations (423 in all) by Joseph K Schmidt. It is a paperbound book with 160 pages, measuring 5-3/8 by 8-1/2 inches.

Model Men - A Facsimile Reproduction of the Original 1847 Volume
More Reproductions
First published in 1847, this fun book will entertain and inform. If proof were needed that human nature remains constant the content of the book would be enough. As you might expect Model Men will appeal particularly to women starting with, The Model Husband. Here are the last few lines:
He lets the family go out of town once every year, whilst he remains at home with one knife and fork, sits on a brown holland chair, sleeps on a curtainless bed, and has a charwoman to wait on him. He goes down on Saturday and comes up on the Monday, taking with him the clean linen, and bringing back the dirty clothes. He checks the washing bills. He pays the housekeeping money without suspicion, and shuts his eyes to the "Sundries". He is very easy and affectionate, keeping the wedding anniversary punctually, never complaining if the dinner is not ready; making the breakfast himself if no one else is down; letting his wife waltz, and drink porter before company. He runs all her errands, pays all her bills, and cries like a child at her death.
The other model men covered in this charming little reproduction are: the model Bachelor, Son, Policeman, Waiter, Magistrate, Labourer, Agitator, MP (parliamentary minister), Debtor, the Friend, Fast Man, Clerks, Gentleman, Irish Speaker, Banker, Sponge, Lodger, Beadle, Omnibus Conductor, and a few others added at the end.
This little paper back book is a facsimile reproduction of the original. Its 50 pages are loaded with advertisements, black and white illustrations and lots of laughs!

How much fun are these!? We've tried to learn to roll Fimo & other polymer clay into sticks or rolls and we always end up with marbleized clay - a fancy way to say we couldn't come up with a picture.

This sunny, funny face is the traditional happy face.
You can slice them to any depth - and can even make the diameter smaller or larger (instructions for this technique included, too). To make a bead or charm, just make a hole before you bake.
Rolls measure 50mm long by 15mm in diameter (about 5/8 inch). So you can make a bunch of beads, components or charms from just one roll!

The best ping pong balls are made of celluloid because of its flexibility and bouncing properties. These are great bouncers - made for the carnival trade for fairway games.
We love them because they are lightweight and fantastic for making ornaments. We have been able to punch holes in them with an ice pick, but a non-electric hand drill works nicely, too.
If all else fails, bounce one or two in the bathtub for your kitty cat.

Book: Spot the Differences - Art Masterpiece Mysteries - Book 1
How well do you truly know the great masterpieces of fine art?
In this book of 25 famous paintings, you will find anywhere from 6 to 14 changes that were made to the originals -from some very obvious differences all the way down to the tiniest little detail. The original painting and the one in which we have made changes are side by side, so you must inspect them both ever so carefully!
Just remember: the original work of art ALWAYS appears on the LEFT side! Use your keen observation skills to compare the two pages, and see if you can detect all the differences that appear on the right side of the page. As you discover the differences, remember to keep score by checking the boxes provided on each puzzle page.
Once you have finished strolling through this outstanding gallery of images, you may go to the end of the book to check your answers to the puzzles. Try not to peek, though, until you have tried your best to find all the changes! As you go along through the book, you'll learn exciting facts about each painting and its artist. This book is a wonderful and fun introduction to some of the world's greatest works of art.
Some of the artists included are Leonardo Da Vinci, Gustave Caillebotte, Mary Cassatt, Paul Cézanne, Edgar Degas, Albrecht Dürer, Jan van Eyck, Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh, Martin Johnson Heade, Winslow Homer, Claude Monet, and more.

Baby Boomers will remember these! So many cereal packages contained premiums or rewards that could be on their way in the mail with only a self-addressed stamped envelope and 50¢ or something like that.

This 1-inch Sunbeam Bread flicker adjustable ring pictures Miss Sunbeam taking a bite out of a piece of bread! Mmmm-mmmm! Miss Sunbeam was a popular character in the mid-20th century, found on all kinds of premiums as well as in comic books.
The ring is in pretty good shape with nice lenticular flicker action. Kid could get one of these by simply redeeming the end label from the Sunbeam Bread wrapper circa 1960. Some of the rings are lightly printed with a

YES! We just love this! Pete's daughter designed and created these cool necklaces for us - they are perfect for everyone from kids to grannies!
The pendant is made from wood, so it won't break if it falls. An 18-inch black metal beaded chain is a perfect match, but the silver-plated bail will accommodate most chains or cords, so you might chose to add one of your own instead of ours.
Each pendant is accented by a vintage pale blue cabbage rose cabochon for a special extra touch. We're including two tiny pieces of chalk (1 white, 1 matching blue) for you to inscribe your own message - change it every day, if you like. It measures 1-1/2 inch in diameter and is about 1/8 inch thick.
We're also including a silvery organza gift bag. Now you can write a neat little message of your own and give it as a gift to a friend.

But, these toys have had the nuns removed for one reason or another, so you'll have to find something else to chuck instead of the nuns - they are no longer manufactured - too bad!!
Just place mini items one at a time into the plastic catapult and pull the trigger! BEWARE! This could be dangerous. It won't be our fault if you get into trouble!
It's probably not a great idea to take this to your school reunion - or, then again, maybe it is!!

Below the picture, it reads:
Best collection to show your friends...

Caution When Opening TAPE HERE BEFORE MAILING
Inside is a gimmick that sounds like a rattler when you open the envelope flap. You can reset this again and again by simply twisting the washer so that the rubber band becomes twisted. Slide it back into the envelope and use it again.
This is an old-time joke from days gone by and is genuinely fun to show to younger (and older) people who might never have seen it!

DIY Pin-Hole Camera and Solargraphy Kit

When I was just a little kid, back in the 1950s, my Dad and I made a pin hole camera - a lot like this one. Of course, it wasn't half as elegant as this. But, I was amazed at my Dad's magical ways - and he never ceased to continue to teach and amaze me throughout his 91-year life!
Now you can have the same fun with your kids, your friends or just amaze yourself with this dandy Pin-Hole Camera and Solargraphy Kit.
We've seen kits like these for upwards of $25.00, so this is even more special as bargain fun.
Pinhole cameras do not have optical lenses. The film is exposed by light through a tiny hole in front of the camera. Because there is no lens, the image will be in focus at all distances.
You'll take your best photographs on bright days. Be sure to hold the camera very still when you are shooting, or place it on a solid surface. The exposure times range from 5 seconds to hours and sometimes days!
Assembly takes about 1 hour. You won't need a knife or scissors. Your finished camera will be made of sturdy black cardstock (in the package). Of course, the instructions to build your camera are included, with illustrations.
The standard 35mm film you need to take photos is not included. Preferably, you should buy ISO200.
Technical Specifications: Film Type: Aperture 0.16mm. Focal Length: 20mm. F Stop: F/130.

Like life itself, Mirage Rings are always changing and mysterious.
My Mom ABSOLUTELY loved these! She was in the hospital quite a bit. She loved to wear her mood ring because she insisted that it identified when she would be able to get out of the hospital. I'm not sure about that, but I am sure that she had fun with these. She gave them away to the nurses and other attending staff with abandon - even the guys loved these!
This wonderful Mirage Ring is a simple band of silver plated brass. It comes alive with sensuous color as you wear it. Inspired by the mood jewelry of the 1960s and 1970s, this mesmerizing ring is made of thermo-sensitive crystals that change color with minute variations in temperature. It changes when you do! This is a fun party favor - but you might even consider using one in your artwork, or write a letter to your secret pal, roll it into a scroll - slip a little ring around it and what a special missive it will be.
You'll find that even though these are just novelty rings, they do not tarnish or discolor easily.

The Eclectic Abecedarium, a Miniature Book by Edward Gorey
Edward Gorey’s first miniature book, The Eclectic Abecedarium is an illustrated adventure through the English alphabet, accompanied by rhyming couplets penned by the master Gorey, who described his creations as “literary nonsense.” Inspired by popular moral primers for children, Gorey created an updated version of Isaac Watts’ alphabetic aphorisms. Part sweet songs of unseen birds and part cautionary tales, this abecedarium fully lives up to the epithet “eclectic.”
Originally published as a miniature, limited edition book, The Eclectic Abecedarium has now been published for the first time as a trade book. There are 56 wonderful pages with 28 terrific color illustrations. This lovely little (4 by 5 inches) hardcase book arrives with a jacket.

What is it?
How's your eye for detail? In What is it? Ditz, a popular painter and photographer, presents a varied selection of her photography from around the world. You are first shown a carefully cropped-out section of each picture which will leave you guessing what it could possibly be.
Once you've thought about it you turn the page to see the whole image and find out if you were right. The photographs have been taken by Ditz both at home in England, and on her travels in USA and Europe.
This clever and quirky puzzler demands concentration and imagination, as the more than 200 photographs are designed to keep the guesses flying! The photographs gently remind us to take a new and closer look at everyday objects and celebrate the wonder and beauty that surrounds us.
We've seen lots of puzzles like this before, but this book is loaded with very special ones - what fun!!
This really thick soft cover book measures 6-1/2 by 6-3/4 and is loaded with pictures on its 416 pages. The printing is superb!

Box of 50 Non-Sharpening Glitter Pencils
We first discovered non-sharpening pencils about 20 years ago when a relative was in the hospital! All is well now, and our great discovery is no less wonderful today. There is no need for a pencil case with a non-sharpening pencil - with eraser, as well! When the pencil point dulls, you simply pull the plastic nib out, push it into the top of the pencil (under the eraser) and a new, sharp, ready to use pencil lead pushes through to the bottom. There are 11 leads in each pencil.
The hospital staff was so enamored by our pencils, that we soon came to realize what a great thank-you gift they are for an office group! So, in lieu of a box of candy, try a box of pencils for your next gift of gratitude.
This set of pencils is glittery: pink, purple, blue, green and yellow pencils have matching erasers.

The Devil's Dictionary (Unabridged)
Born in Ohio in 1842, journalist, short-story writer and critic Ambrose Bierce developed into one of this country's most celebrated and cynical wits - a merciless "American Swift" whose literary barbs were aimed at folly, self-delusion, politics, business, religion, literature and the arts. In this splendid "dictionary" of epigrams, essays, verses and vignettes, you'll find over 1,000 pointed definitions. For example:
Congratulation - The civility of envy. Coward - One who in a perilous emergency thinks with his legs. Historian - A broad-gauge gossip. Me - The objectionable case of I.
Anyone who likes to laugh will love The Devil's Dictionary. Anyone looking for a bon mot to enliven their next speech, paper or conversation will have a field day thumbing through what HL Mencken called "some of the most gorgeous witticisms in the English language.
This unabridged book is a republication of the edition published by the Neale Publishing Company in 1911. There are 144 pages in this 5-3/16 by 8-1/4 inch paperback.

The Guerilla Art Kit
We are living in a golden age of self-expression. The explosion of user-created content on blogs and social networking sites moved Time magazine to name "You" their 2006 person of the year.
But while we may be spending a lot more time in virtual worlds, we have not lost the urge to make our physical world more meaningful. By leaving art and ideas in public places, you can affect someone's day—change their mood or their mind—and maybe even change the world in the process! The Guerilla Art Kit shows how small artistic acts can start a revolution.
Keri Smith, noted author of Living Out Loud and the blog Wish Jar Journal, uses her unique drawing and handwriting style to help anyone find and release their inner artist or activist. This visually exciting activity book—full of step-by-step exercises, cut-out projects, sticker ideas, and more—has both fun assignments and handy tips to help you unleash your creative energy into the streets, where you can really make an impact.
From the quick exercises—leaving books for strangers to find, chalking quotes on the sidewalk—to the more involved—making a "wish tree," guerilla gardening, or making your own stencils—The Guerilla Art Kit contains everything you need to put your message out into the world.
This hardcover and spiral bound book contains 144 inspirational pages with 70 color and 10 black and white images.

Impatience Paper animation kit!
This great little kit is an automatum. Automata are toys or models which use a mechanism (such as the crank) to come alive - to move. Automata have a long and distinguished history and have been made of leather, paper, metal and more for hundreds of years. Building a da Vinci-inspired model like Impatience is still a passion for many.
This whimsical moving paper model is great for a family or for yourself - just pop out the pieces, fold, glue and assemble. Curious enough for even the most advanced minds, it's also great for the first time model builder, too.
What a fantastic way to learn about mechanical principles. Turn the handle on the model and the fingers tap impatiently on the box top. Add a bandage and you'll have the Impatient Outpatient - perfect for a doctor's office or reception area.

Audubon Bird Call
This original classic red finish Audubon Bird Call consists of a birchwood roller and a zinc plug. With reasonable care, and periodic re-application of rosin from the included capsule, the call will last a lifetime. By twisting this simple device, you can easily imitate the songs of many wild songbirds.
Roger Eddy and his family and friends assembled the Audubon Bird Call by hand in his living room. He created the call after seeing similar devices used in northern Italy. For over 50 years, the Audubon Bird Call has been crafted by hand in New England and is now considered the standard bird call throughout the world. Roger died in 2003, and his grandchildren proudly continue this family business.
Please consider the birds when using this call: don't use it excessively near nests and when birds are resting.

String Figures and How to Make them
At some time in your youth, no doubt, you took a loop of string and made a cat's cradle or a Jacob's Ladder or some other type of figure by looping and crossing the string between the fingers. This is actually an ancient form of amusement - that is practiced worldwide and is especially popular among indigenous peoples.
This unabridged republication of the 1906 original is softbound with 950 illustrations and 17 full-page plates - a full 407 pages of fun!
This book describes in a simple and easy-to-follow manner, how to make no less than 107 different figures - just as they are made in their lands of origin. The description of each figure and the process of making it is accompanied by several simply drawn sketches that show each distinct step as it would be viewed by the person making the figure. The illustrator has taken great care to show in each sketch all the loops, all the intertwinings as they should appear at each stage of the process.
Equally interesting as a source of amusement and interest to anthropologists and collectors, we're sure you'll enjoy this modern old-fashioned pastime!

The Natural History of the Flirt
The Shorter Oxford English Dictionary gives the meaning of the word flirt as 'to play at courtship.' Perhaps some will regard it as a more frivolous past-time, though George Elliot put it rather well 'every man likes to flirt with a pretty girl and every girl likes to be flirted with.'
This little 108-page book measures 10.5 by 13 cm and is loaded with delight from cover to cover. It was first published in 1848. This facsimile reproduction brings the original work to life as it was originally published! The illustrations by Gavarni, Gilbert and Henning are worth the price alone! Full of anecdote, suggestion and song, with tales from notorious flirts, this might also be considered a how-to manual for flirting - not just the history!
