Magic For Dummies

[Jeremy L. Hart]

I have permission from IDG Books to distribute a hilarious trick from the
new book, "Magic For Dummies(r)" by David Pogue. The trick is called "The
$100 Breath Mint" and is guaranteed to cause pandemonium the first time you
try it in front of a group of people at a restaurant or store.

Like the rest of the tricks in "Magic For Dummies," the $100 Breath Mint
requires almost no practice or advance preparation, and uses
readily-available objects. Unlike the other tricks in the book (which are
heavily illustrated), this trick is easy to understand without any graphics
-- which makes it perfect for distribution over the Internet. To get the
trick, send mailto:jhart at tenagra.com with the subject line "Send Magic,"
and I'll reply with a text file.

You might recognize David Pogue as the famous "Desktop Critic" from
MacWorld magazine and author of the best-selling books "Macs For
Dummies(r)" and "MacWorld(r) Mac(r) Secrets(r)." Pogue is also a
card-carrying member ("pick a card -- any card") of the International
Brotherhood of Magicians and has taught magic to complete novices at New
York's Learning Annex and the New School for Social Research.
