Share the magic! ****** WE HAVE A FEW BOXES OF BOOKS LISTED THIS WEEK! SO IF YOU WANT TO GET SOME NICE, HARD TO FIND MAGIC BOOKS (MOSTLY FROM THE 1970's and 1980's), CHECK ALL OUR LISTINGS. TOO MANY BOOKS TO GIVE A LOT OF DETAIL. LOOK AT THE PICTURES AND EMAIL IF YOU ARE AN INTERESTED BUYER WITH A SPECIFIC QUESTION ABOUT A BOOK. THANKS FOR YOUR INTEREST IN THE MAGIC GADGET SITE on eBAY. Originally published in 1930, this very cool book... (does anyone say "cool" anymore? Only me? OK)... this very interesting and informative book must have been the 1930's equivalent to books now teaching you how to do tricks with the internet and your mobile phone. The book is filled with recipes for various "hi-tech" chemical substances that can be applied to various magical effects. I am guessing that most people in the 1930's knew little about chemical formulae, and the good news is that most people today probably don't know much more :-) When I was a kid in the 1970's, you might get a "Chemistry Set" for your birthday, and even a kid could buy all kinds of chemicals at the hobby store to make similar formulae as are taught in Lippy's book. A quick internet search shows that you can still get the chemicals needed for most of the recipes in this book -- probably not if you are under 18, and frankly, I do not recommend this book to anyone under the age of 18. Unless maybe you have previously won first place in your high school's Science Fair. Look at the extensive table of contents (photos) and you can see that the book covers all kinds of magical effects, from flash and fire stuff, to spirit writing, to glowing or disappearing inks, to color changing liquids, etc etc etc This edition of the book is UNDATED, but was printed in the late 1990's. Current selling prices on earlier editions are quite high, but this edition can be found for about $12. Of course, you can get it here for less. 164 pages, paperback -- new and in MINT condition. (it is from new-old dealer inventory)' +++++++++++
