Purportedly written by magician Albert D. Schafer, who vanished in 1915, this handsome addition to the Ologies series, which mimics the look of advertisements and periodicals of the era, explores the history and practice of magic...Step-by-step directions and props let readers try simple tricks, while clues lead to the revelation of the author's fate. -Publishers Weekly, ILLUSIONOLOGY includes a visually dense array of interactive elements: flaps, 3D pop-ups, foldouts, sealed envelopes. Among its revelations: the secrets behind Harry Houdini's straitjacket escape and needle swallowing tricks, the "science" of levitation and the trickery behind spirit mediums. But watch out: readers also learn dice and card tricks that require no special extrasensory ability. --The New York Times Purportedly written by magician Albert D.

- g***d (113)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAll in all I am happy with this seller despite the circumstances. I ordered a brand new item, but when it arrived it was a retired library book. An error on the seller's part, which they made EVERY effort to correct once they were made aware. Communication with them was direct, reciprocated and honest. I was given options in regards to the error in my order, and we settled on a partial refund. This is more courtesy and effort than I've experienced with other sellers on Ebay, so thank you. Cheers
- ****7 (20)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseBook was wrapped with care, item arrived in good condition. Shipping was a little slow, contacted the seller information was given the same day. Communication was great with seller, would purchase from again.Area 51: An Uncensored History of America's Top Secret Military (#296786732961)
- d***u (608)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseNew quality as indicated. Price was very competitive. Arrived in good condition. The picture is of the 3rd Edition, but the 4th Edition was shipped, which was ok with me. Appearance is a little different as the cover isn't the same but again that's ok. Shipping seemed a little long, but I wasn't in a super hurry so a few more days was ok, plus it came book class which takes a little longer and tracking isn't as good. Overall, I would buy from again.Serendipity Bible for Groups, New International Version (#296787811494)
