Now you can have Wobensmith's complete list of patents plus 170 new patents-over 500 patents in all. This handsome 480 page, hardcover book (8-1/2" x 11")contain s the complete drawings and text for 100 patents. A Foreword by Jim Steinmeyer is also included. Stage illusions, small apparatus and miscellaneous magic patents by some of magic's greatest thinkers are represented. A book of this size and scope has never been printed before and will probably never be printed again.
