Forty Four Foolers by Clettis V. Musson - Book

Inside you'll find new tricks with liquids, cards, balls, kittens, silks, cigars, cigarettes, alarm clocks, watches, thimbles, tumblers, needles, coins, and stage illusions. Read over the brief descriptions of a few of the amazing effects contained in this long-lost book.

Effect No. 1: An empty glass, under cover of a borrowed handkerchief, becomes half-filled with pennies. The coins then change into a molten, copper-colored liquid.

Effect No. 2: A needle is placed into a borrowed drinking glass by a spectator. The glass is covered with a handkerchief, later removed, and the needle has vanished. Remember, the needle is placed in the glass by a spectator and that the glass is not tipped in any way but left sitting upright on the table at all times.

Effect No. 3: An alarm clock vanishes under cover of a handkerchief. The clack may be borrowed - no mechanical devices are used. The trick is performed away from the tables. This effective trick has been used by the author for many years.

Effect No. 4: A giant ace of diamonds, six feet by four, is shown on all sides, a pistol fired, the card removed, and there stands a beautiful girl. No mirrors, no trap doors or slit curtains are used - only one card and it is shown in the center of the stage far away from the wings. The card can be easily and cheaply made.

Effect No. 5: A prediction sealed in an envelope is given to someone to hold. Five spectators are requested to call a number with five digits. These are written in full view of the audience on a slate. Another spectator totals all numbers. The sealed prediction is found to be the same as the total on the slate. a borrowed slate and chalk may be used. All you need is any slate and a piece of chalk and this routine. It's one your audience will remember.

All these and thirty-nine other astounding effects are in this collection. You can fool your friends, you can gain valuable publicity, you can add variety to your act - all by getting this ebook of baffling mysteries.
