SUMMARY- This book is full of fun and creative things to do with a newspaper - something I never thought could ever go extinct, but they are not as ubiquitous as they were when I was a kid. I was in high school when the first personal home computer hit the market. I used to do magic shows at the end of summer(I took them seriously and spent a lot of time learning new material and practicing it for my shows). While newspapers may not be as easy to find now, they are still being printed, so this book isn't quite obsolete. I'm not sure why it's gone up in price as much as it has - even as a British import - but I'm clearly not the only person who has fond memories of this sort of magic.
