Foucault Elite user New Jersey, USA 424 Posts	Posted: Oct 18, 2005 09:09 pm 0 I recently bought a used copy of this fabulous book, which I'm enjoying greatly. Unfortunately, due to a printing error, several pairs of pages are blank: 114/115 118/119 122/123 126/127 This means I have incomplete descriptions and/or methods for "Unfair Shake" by Horace Bennett, "Spots and Paddle" by Frederica and "Sympathetic Matches" by Bento. If someone can help me out, could you please PM me? Many thanks

Foucault Elite user New Jersey, USA 424 Posts	Posted: Oct 19, 2005 03:31 am 0 I thought I could do without the missing effects, but the little snippets of Unfair Shake I saw looked too intriguing to miss!
Foucault Elite user New Jersey, USA 424 Posts	Posted: Oct 19, 2005 01:29 pm 0 Kudos to mrunge for going above and beyond! Any other recommendations from this book? I'm currently reading it cover to cover, but I'd love to hear about others' success or otherwise "in the field" with effects from Ganson's book. What does anyone think about the Brema nut material? It seems that the routines were chosen specifically to eliminate the use of a handkerchief (which seems fine in this day and age when many do not carry one), but replaces it with "behind the back" work. Any thoughts?
