Ephemera Magica: August 2010
http://vintagemagician.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 13, 2010. The Yogi Wonder Card Trick. Happy Friday the 13th! This was the smallest, most folded set of instructions I have come across. The scan makes it readable, but in reality the print is so small it is nearly microscopic! I'm going to have to go through my sets of random cards and see if I can find that 6/7 of spades! Posted by The Amazing Mrs. Wood. Friday, August 13, 2010. Links to this post. Filed under: card tricks. Thursday, August 12, 2010. Another Letter From Thayer. Act now an...

Ephemera Magica: Another Letter From Thayer
http://vintagemagician.blogspot.com/2010/08/another-letter-from-thayer.html
Thursday, August 12, 2010. Another Letter From Thayer. There are a lot of interesting things going on in this Thayer letter. The first paragraph alone is advertising gold:. Read the rest of this letter. It should not take you more than two minutes and if it will only save you one dollar, that will make your time worth while. I've always wondered what my time was worth. Thanks, Thayer Manufacturing! Act now and you will make some real money- otherwise the other fellow wins. Thursday, August 12, 2010.

Monday, August 2, 2010. Thayer's New Mystical Coin Act (Back Page). I thought we'd start the beginning of the week by ending last week's scan collection. This wraps up our look into the curious little booklet about a coin act! Until I get a definitive date. Posted by The Amazing Mrs. Wood. Monday, August 02, 2010. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Ephemera Magica: Another Letter From Alexander
http://vintagemagician.blogspot.com/2010/08/another-letter-from-alexander.html
Tuesday, August 3, 2010. Another Letter From Alexander. Your eyes are not playing tricks on you- this really looks like it was typed on a typewriter with a rounded surface. This is a fun letter from Alexander- he is selling our previously researched Luminous Ouija Board. And from what I can tell with a basic magnifying glass, that is a real ink signature!

Ephemera Magica: Thayer Ordering Form...Just Pin A One Dollar Bill!
http://vintagemagician.blogspot.com/2010/08/thayer-ordering-formjust-pin-one-dollar.html
Wednesday, August 4, 2010. Thayer Ordering Form.Just Pin A One Dollar Bill! I think all shopping should revert immediately to the method described on this form: " Just check what you want and pin a one dollar bill to this letter. I wonder if Amazon.com would go for this idea. I had never heard of any of the authors listed on this form. The name I decided to search for was Louis F. Christianer. While Louis was a prolific author. Anyhow, if you would like to see a copy of his New Magical Conceptions. Surpr...

Ephemera Magica: Throw Your Voice!
http://vintagemagician.blogspot.com/2010/08/throw-your-voice.html
Wednesday, August 11, 2010. This is a fun little add- fool police AND your friends! I wonder if my Grandfather clipped it out as a child to maybe save up for it one day. I didn't find anything online that would tell me what the Claxophone was, but if you want to read about the klaxophone, you can via wikipedia. Posted by The Amazing Mrs. Wood.

Ephemera Magica: A Sunday Morning Trick
http://vintagemagician.blogspot.com/2010/08/sunday-morning-trick.html
Sunday, August 8, 2010. A Sunday Morning Trick. While you're sitting at the table eating breakfast (or maybe dinner, depending on your time zone) challenge your table mate to this little trick. This clip made me smile- everyone had that one teacher of substitute who knew all of the brain-teasers and would challenge the class all day long and no one would ever get them. I would have loved to have taken this one into class! Posted by The Amazing Mrs. Wood. Sunday, August 08, 2010. Filed under: brain teaser.

Ephemera Magica: Mysterious Disappearances Explained
http://vintagemagician.blogspot.com/2010/05/mysterious-disappearances-explained.html
Sunday, May 30, 2010. I didn't find much about the publications mentioned in this clipping- The Recreation Hour. But the mention of the name ' Thurston. Sent me down a fun little path until I ended up watching this great old footage on youtube. The poster didn't allow embedding, but you can see it here. I am going to let the person who spent so much time collecting information on Thurston introduce him to you themselves at thurstonmastermagician.com. Posted by The Amazing Mrs. Wood.
