Out of This World ... and many other classic tricks. (1974 8.5 x 11" soft cover) If Paul had only presented a single effect, he would still be as well known today! That effect, OUT OF THIS WORLD, became a classic in his generation and an insiration of others to suggests variants. The first one to do this was ... Paul Curry. That one trick is still in print (I think) for $15 in a manuscript of only a few pages. PAUL CURRY PRESENTS offers 27 effects including the original OOTW in a compilation of over 100 pages. Full index of tricks is on line: https://www.conjuringarchive.com/list/book/434 I won't hide the fact that these books are old -- or that they are still in nearly perfect shape. OOTW is an effect that baffled Sir Winston Churchill, and provided him a brief diversion from his heavy responsibilities in WWII. Both books are typewritten, not type set. I found one misspelling, and there might be more. But the tricks were carefully written and described in an age before word processors and auto-correct. I will always be grapefruit for my spell checker, but I am also grateful for the careful thought that went into these 52 magic tricks. Now that I am retired, I would be delighted to get these books into the hands of a younger still-performing magician. I am including at no charge one catalog of the Blackstone Jr. estate auction (2003), three books on origami -- including FOLDING MONEY FOOLING by Robert Neale, and additional books that fit in the oversize box. I offer free MEDIA RATE shipping even though eBay makes it difficult to ship magic books that way. It takes an extra trip to the post office, but YOU are worth it. Stored with other magic books in a dust free child free bug free home. $25.oo is a great price for these two books.... plus everything else.
