At a convention recently I bought several packages of notes I supose by Milo and roger on different illusions on getting them home and looking at them they seem to be pages from there personal files?
they are partly types/printed and partly hand written with hand drawings (many crudly done) Some are marked "Milo's copy" others things like"Updated copy october 22nd 1997.... use this copy dicard all others" also there are many Postcards with milo, roger and duck and several actual photo's the detailed notes include the living robot Zig zag without a cabinet Asrah duck visibly walking through a mirror dragon ball (this has a note on one page saying Dear stephen this page is just a note for you and not for publication I just thought you might like to know how I got the title for this illusion famous lota bowl closing to act revolving head vannish with b@w photo head on the tray of fruit with actual photo's from greece and a newspaper clip from a Stuttgart newspaper 1987 new versin of above (rogers last invention)1997 Our most famous trick shooting a magician from a cannon (milo copy) Insatantanious vannish of an elephant Dracula bride of Dracula Frankenstien Phantom of the opera side show the nervous balloon the mummys tomb the invunerable camel the magic acrobats the flying rug the floating elephant the inca horror sun moon and star the dragon princess torture spikes of morroco I bought these not really knowing what I was buying I just thought OK milo and roger many illusions cant go wrong at £5.00 though now I have them I am thinking that perhaps I have some thing of much more historical value? can anyone help shed any light as to what they might be thanks Phillip |
