Other Stuff 3 by Dale A. Hildebrandt

Other Stuff 3 by Dale A. Hildebrandt
This third issue of "Other Stuff" contains The Hildebrandt Experience: The Weird Works of Dale A. Hildebrandt. From stories in search of an effect (such as Greek Sneezes) to fully blown routines such as the coin trick "At Your Service", you are sure to find something to inspire you to greater heights.

The issue starts off with Greek Sneezes--a story in search of an effect. Also contained are:

Ear of Van Gogh: This mysterious replica of Van Gogh's ear finds the correct painting.

Super Serial Silliness: A slight spin on the serial number revelation.

New Age Bandage: Magic with symbols.

The Black Box Recordings: A unique presentation for an old psychological force.

A Sweet Subterfuge: A new take on an old effect that utilizes sugar cubes and a stooge.

Wipe Out Revisited Twice: A Magician In Danger Routine, with a knife in one tube and the other tube being empty. A flip of a poker chip decides the magician's fate!

Paul Is Dead: A retro themed effect using the once popular "Paul Is Dead" rumor.

An Exploration Of A Principle: For those of you who loved Psychotaps in "Risk & Reward", here are some more presentations using the same method.

Mesmerless Magnets: Cause a magnet to lose its magnetic power in your kitchen!

Upside Down Frown: A great way to practice a certain mentalist's tool.

The Emotion Jar: Possibly the strongest effect in the magazine!

Restroom Signs: An interesting take on the lowly Boomerang Cards (found in many beginner's sets) brings this effect into an interesting context.

The Joke's On Me: An interesting presentation for a torn and restored lottery ticket.

And more!
