Reproduced from a 1940's/50's original.
This is a facsimile edition of a 12-page
8½x11" mimeographed typescript.

A vintage explanation of the SECRETS of the shocking feats seen on
the old-time midway and carnival sideshow.
Of course, like most such manuscripts, some of these descriptions work well and still play well
to an audience, and some are inaccurate and will only result in injury … use your judgment!

WARNING:
DO NOT ATTEMPT ANY OF THESE STUNTS!

THIS STUFF IS BIG-TIME DANGEROUS!
ALMOST EVERYTHING HERE WILL GET YOU INJURED OR KILLED!

This publication is offered for historical interest only.
It is a reproduction of a manuscript by a non-performer. No one has edited or tested this information.
The methods described are dangerous, and some are clearly wrong.
Sideshow stunts should only be learned under the direct supervision of experienced performers.
No book, website, video or other source can be trusted as a safe substitute for supervised learning.
Blue Ridge Entertainment and its owners will not be liable for any injury or damage
sustained through the use of this information.

SHOCKING!    APPALLING!
GEEK TRICKS!   
DANGER APLENTY!

My (cloudy) memory says that this was bought in the early 1970s from Dr. Doom - One buyer researched it and found that it originally appeared as "Miraculous Hindu Feats" by a Joseph Ovette published in 1947. It was also reprinted in Snake Oil by Jim Rose, where Rose says it comes from a book called "Feats Of Torture" by Ovette.

AND THE PRICE IS THE
BIGGEST SHOCK OF ALL!
