The basics of magic
Slate tablets have long been used as so-called spirit tablets by spiritualists in their séances. Magicians use them
likewise, but only for the purpose of entertaining deception. The basic principle behind the use of such tablets is that writing mysteriously appears on a blank tablet.
While spiritualists claim that the spirits of the deceased are the perpetrators, magicians admit that they use sophisticated methods of deception.
In this lesson you will get an overview of the different technical possibilities of creating such “ghost” fonts on “empty”
to make panels appear.
You will learn about the “table insert,” a simple yet ingenious device whose existence the audience knows nothing about and which enables a variety of astonishing tricks.
You will also learn the secrets of the “blackboard flap” and how to receive messages from beyond the grave using erasable and non-erasable writings.
However, not only are the trick techniques taught, but these are also applied in great routines by such famous magicians as Al Baker, Al Man, Bill Larsen, Chung Ling Soo, Dunninger and Jack Miller.
As usual, Harlan Tarbell not only provides precise descriptions, illustrated with many drawings, but also perfect lectures on the individual routines.
