Comments: Low production values, this manuscript was created on someone's typewriter before the days of computers. I'm not positive I have the whole manuscript, as a sentence on page 6 states, "Before going into the tricks and routines themselves...", indicating there may have been intended some effects to follow. However, the pages I have end with the appropriate drawings, so perhaps there was an intended follow-on that simply wasn't included. I really like the Turnover Steal and the Pick Up vanish.
