Dust jacket reads: Bev Taylor's Town House Magic thrived in St. Louis, Missouri in the late 1940's and early 1950's. In nearly 10 years of operation, Town House put out over 100 items, noted for their high quality of construction and complete instructions. In fact, most are now valued collectors' item. Magicians releasing effects through Town House included Milbourne Christopher, Karrell Fox and Don Lawton. Included in this collection are the very best of these effects, some with complete construction plans, but all with the marvelous Town House routines. As a special bonus, also included are 10 routines from Bev's own act, involving such standards as the Mutilated Parasol, Sponge Rabbits, Sword Thru Neck and Tipsy Turvy Bottles. No magic library should be considered complete without the best of Town House Magic, the company "Where good tricks are made better".
