 Comments: Illustrations by Mel. Note: many of these stunts should never be attempted. For example, Chewing Molten Lead suggests to add "quicksilver", which is another name for mercury, which is highly toxic. Also available as part of the Abbott's compilation Strange Secrets Volume One, edited by Gordon Miller.
