Bill, I think you're confusing _Popular Mechanics_ with the Science and Mechanics _Magic Handbook_, which did have the mirror box made with cookie sheet mirrors.
There were, though, a few issues of _Popular Mechanics_ that exposed magic tricks--including the Chinese Sticks. The December 1935 issue of _Popular Mechanics_ had an article by Cardini where he exposed a sponge ball trick among others. ----- Amado "Sonny" Narvaez

I wish there was a clip of him doing the Chinese Sticks on Sullivan. I have it on an old VHS but wish I could get it off Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-r-aHedHRU |

Jethro63,
You can download videos from YouTube, but it is a bit complicated. First, download a free video player program app, called VLC video player and install it on your computer. Then do a search for How to download video from YouTube using VLC. There is video on how to do it with VM video player using VLC player. Good Luck. |

There is a much easier way to download audio or video (including audio) from YouTube.
It is a free program called 4K VideoDownloader. You just adjust your settings for format (mp3 audio/mp4 or mkv video etc), quality (480p/720p/1280p etc) and where you want to save it. You can download a song without the accompanying video (mp3) or download the video itself, your choice. You then copy the url and click Paste Link. It takes longer to describe it than to do it. It is super simple, I've been using it for years. The help section has video tutorials but the software is very easy to use. https://www.4kdownload.com/products/videodownloader/3 |

I started using short sleeves when doing stage manips to get people to stop saying "It went up his sleeve." Guess what, some idiot says "It went up his sleeve", and his girlfriend yelled at him "He doesn't have any sleeves". That's when I realized there are real strange people out there. People used to tell Slydini that the balls of paper in his hat "came up through the table (and through the hat too)" and since that isn't the method, he decided that they were fooled by the trick.
