The Life and Mysteries of the Celebrated Dr. Q by Alexander

The Life and Mysteries of the Celebrated Dr. Q

One of the most truly remarkable mentalism books ever published. Written by prominent stage magician and crystal gazer, "Alexander," billed as "The Man Who Knows," Alexander's "Dr. Q Book" recounts the extraordinary adventures of Dr. Q – a mystic, rogue and con-man Alexander met in Honduras. Was Dr. Q real or was he Conlin's alter ego? More than just a collection of entertaining anecdotes, however, this book contains complete explanations of the methods as well as detailed diagrams of the equipment used by crystal gazers, clairvoyants and mediums of the period. Plus, numerous mentalism effects, several major stage illusions including the Asrah Levitation, John Nevil Maskelyne's brilliant Entranced Fakir levitation (Kellar's Levitation of Princess Karnac, later used by Thurston), The Materialization of a Living Human Being, as well as escapes, and much more. This is the complete, original Alexander edition in a top quality new Trickshop.com release, completely re-typeset and re-formatted for 8-1/2 x 11 or A4 page size with larger, easier to read type and generous spacing, profusely illustrated, 174 pages. A must-have addition to your magic or mentalism library!
