This wonderful book presents the history of that fascinating magic and mentalism prop – The Spirit Cloth aka Daylight Seance Cloth.
You will find wonderfully funny routines using the spirit cloth from Martin Gardner, Rick Johnsson, Bev Bergeron, Steve Beam, Hank Lee, Parker Swan, and others. The “Further Reading List” alone is worth the price of the book.
