Bought billiard balls, 77 rope ties and chain releases,the book Houdini On Magic, and a green paper on different tricks which I remember was disappointing. Yeah, lots of diagrams on how to make things.

Vic's was the best magic catalog on the market back then. I ordered several items. But the real magic was that catalog. I have a rare copy of it today thanks to one of Vic's kids. It's one of my favorite books that brings back so many memories. Thanks to his whole family.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02579762187369764921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763800617635009425.post-74282917115723960732012-12-06T20:56:32.616-08:002012-12-06T20:56:32.616-08:00Pulled this name(V.L.)from THE remaining 100 brain...Pulled this name(V.L.)from THE remaining 100 brain cells of this 58yr.old Professional Magician. Obviously, I did order a few tricks as a boy, BUT it was the "scantily clad" women that piqued MY interest!!! NOT THE MONKEY!!!? Don't remember if it was one of Vic's jokes or the early emergence of my lame attempt at comedy writing but I use to call this cartoon woman "Miss Direction" (whew!) Sorry but hey I was just a kid! <br />Anyway, I luuuuuuuuved this catalogue. Thanks J.F. for forwarding these pleasant memories. <br />KINDLY, ANDREW DAKOTA (poof!)............................(GONE!)<br /> ANDREW DAKOTA MAGICnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763800617635009425.post-72729360358136061402012-02-09T17:23:09.046-08:002012-02-09T17:23:09.046-08:00"TV Wheel" aired on Comedy Central and h..."TV Wheel" aired on Comedy Central and had a very early David Cross (pre-Mr. Show) on it.<br /><br />You can view the entire Vick Lawston parody on YouTube. Joel did the voice of Pumpernickel.
