I was browsing through the bargain book section at WaldenBooks today and found this for 10 bucks.

Some of the material is a little blue for my taste, but it seems like a there's a lot of potential.

Thought I would pass it along.

Steve,
Thanks for the tip! I picked one up for only $10 also, and it's got some great stuff in it, despite the blue material! They also have a Friars Club Joke book that is pretty good.

You might be interested in, "The Friar's Club Encyclopedia of Jokes" compiled by Aaron Cohl
or "Roast of the Town" by Joey Adams subtitled "The Notorious Friars Club Celebrity Roasts- and how to adapt them for any speaking occasion".

As a squire Friar of 6 months... (and Magic Castle member for about 15 years) thanks for the recognition... the friars Club.. like the Castle.. is a very special place.. and I love the history there...

Incidentally, when I'm entertaining friends at the Friars Club I like to do a "quasi" mind-reading stunt..there's a fishbowl of little matchstick boxes. I mix 'em up.. and dig in.. and pull one out for each guest. Inside each, instead of matches, is a greeting personalized, as a souvenir.

I find the proper boxes becauseI have previously doube-stick taped them to the bottom of the bowl. I am careful to let the tape remain in the fishbowl when pulling 'em out... Enjoy...

Nice effect Paul! I take it you are a brother friar in NYC??? I belong to the Bev Hills Club. Nice to meet a Brother Friar! We should develop a secret handshake or code phrase ala the Masons. "For the sake of a widow's son".
