SUMMARY- There's a hilarious "Chapeaugraphy", where the magician turns a newspaper hat into seven different hats with a few changes. There's some cool kirigami(like tearing a message into a tri-folded cone that looks more like an attempt at a ragged snowflake until it is opened). I did amateur magic shows when I was a kid, insisting on mine and my friends' families come to watch us perform the show we had rehearsed all summer. The book mobile would bring me magic books from Grand Junction if I asked, and I'd pour over them for illusions(back then, it was blasphemous to call any magical effect a "trick") I could scrounge up the equipment for. Newspaper magic was a no-brainer. This book brought back a lot of happy memories trying to perfect my skills with no guidance whatsoever until high school, where I met Armand DeBeque. This revised edition is available through Magic, inc. in Chicago, IL.
