With 50 rude, sick, and mind-blowing stunts, any practical joker or novice magician will be armed with an arsenal of fresh, fun, and easy pranks to play on friends and loved ones. Each trick is fully outlined with thorough directions and colorful, step-by-step photographs and needs minimal preparation—no top hats, capes, or trap doors are required. Jokers will be able to resurrect dead flies, snuff out lit cigarettes on their tongues, swallow table knives, bend spoons with their noses, cut off their thumbs with scissors, and make messages appear on their skin, all to the wonder and amusement of onlookers. Simple yet impressive card tricks are also included for the "prestidigitally challenged."
"A witty sense of humor that will be a joy to read . . . extremely well produced . . . you won't put it down." —newmagicsource.com

Just the cover art was enough to bring the sale home for me. I bought this for my 10 year old son, but it has made the rounds to everyone in the family. Hours of disgusting and harmless humor. We used it as a party book, where everyone had to choose and perfect a trick. Cool, very cool.
