Hello! I recently read a book which is, as Subject line states, an absolute treasure-trove of presentation ideas.
https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/......pickover It's going to cost a grand total of about 6 bucks, and provides a wealth of information on fortune-telling techniques, ancient traditions, stories, and experiments. It was a pretty amazing find. And the author is an intriguing character as well. Best, Tom Phoenix |

This looks great, thanks for sharing. Might be worth starting a thread over in the Penny for Your Thoughts section. They get off on stuff like this over there

Just found it on ebay with free shipping. Ordered! Thanks for the recommendation! (And for all the great free stuff you give your subscribers!)

Quick edit:
When I made the post, the books were $1.95. Now it looks like either the price was increased, or maybe that batch of copies sold out. Anyway, the current price is $53.64.... I'd still say it is worth it. That line in the original post about it being $6 doesn't hold true anymore. Race, you're very welcome! Web design is my 'real job', magic is just a paying hobby, so I can afford to give out a bunch of stuff for free. Tom |

Also, I should mention that I have exactly nothing to do with the book, and gain nothing from the sales.

I think you created a run on the cheap used copies. I tried several places. Alibris had a copy. In the time it took me to check out, someone else nabbed it.

Well Tom, at least you know you are quite an influencer within the community.

Many years ago, when Paul [Harris] started his company “PH Presents”, there was a section in his website (subsequently removed) with “Recommended Links”. One of the links was to this guy’s website (the author Tom mentions).
http://www.pickover.com/ So now you know part of Paul’s inspiration, where does it comes from.

Thanks for the link, but now the price is $65.00! Quite a jump from $1.95 all within a week! Bitcoin speculators move over! I bet the used book sellers are scratching their heads in disbelief!

It's more like the cheaper ones sell out and the higher priced ones further up the list are what remain.
