Illustrated by Ned Rutledge, Harry G. Franke. “Some Boulevards to Entertainment”. I really like J.G. Thompson’s style of writing and would recommend any of his books for that reason alone. In addition, there are lots of great effects in here. J.G. Thompson provides lots of credits and references for many of the classics in magic. In several effects in this book, the full method is not described and the reader is references to other write-ups available in the 1970’s. Not a beginner’s book, but most of the material is quite accessible by the average magician. Lots of clear B&W photographs.
The Miracle Makers, Some Boulevards to Enchantment, features illustrations by Ned Rutledge and Harry G. Franke, beautifully bound in our Master Magician Series. The author, J.G. Thompson, won the legendary IBM Gold Medal in 1955 with Presto, a trick right from the pages of this book! • Over 300 pages featuring 139 photos! • Historic introduction by Karl Fulves! • Sought after material! Mental Echo, one of the greatest mentalism routines EVER, is discussed at length in an entire section devoted to the famous concept. Also included is the amazing newspaper prediction, Before the Presses Roll, one of the main reasons magicians buy Between Two Minds. J.G. Thompson is a noted author, having worked on many books with Anneman, Bobo, Booth, Fitzkee, Gardner, Gibson, Hugard, Lorraine, Osborne, Tarbell, Rutledge and many others.
Mike Caveney says, “There is a lot of great magic in this book.”
Thomas Harris says, “Mental Echo is a beautiful, beautiful thing! I think this is one of the greatest routines in mentalism, maybe at the very apex.”
Ned Rutledge says, “Mental Echo is a majestic and sophisticated blend of subtle principles. You have a symphony here. Reluctantly, I must admit there’s nothing in it I can improve!”
