BAMBOOZLERS: The Book of Bankable Bar Betchas,
Brain Bogglers, Belly Busters & Bewitchery-
Volume One:
The book teaches the reader how to do amazing and funny
things with common objects found around the house or in a restaurant. It
is a collection of bar bets, brain teasers, jokes, puzzles and magic effects
that I’ve collected over the last 20 years. Many of the classics between
these covers have been injected with my own twists and sense of humour.
The book measures 3 by 5 inches, has a black faux
leather-binding, has silver gilt edges, a black ribbon marker, etc. There
are 75 effects, with 128 pages and over 100 illustrations. The foreword
of the book was written by the prolific author Martin Gardner. The book was
designed as a reference guide to fit in one’s shirt or pants pocket when out on
a fun night on the town.
FOREWORD
A number of books have been published on what magicians like
to call "betchas”. I myself have written a few of them. None comes
close to the collection that Diamond Jim Tyler has obtained from his experience
in working restaurants and bars for the past twenty years, from earlier books,
and from his friends and acquaintances. What you now hold in only the tip
of an iceberg – the first volume of a projected series.
Who is Diamond Jim Tyler? Besides being my friend, he
is a Texas magician, and a top performer, one who has a wealth of novel ideas
up his sleeves. He has invented dozens of magic effects sold world-wide
and is best known for his book and DVD Pockets Full of Miracles.
For this volume Diamond Jim has collected seventy-five
betchas, brain teasers, gags and simple magic effects that can be performed
with such common objects as coins, toothpicks, glasses, dollar bills, dice and
other things found around the house. Some are old, some new, and some
presented here for the first time. And you will get a chuckle out of the
joking asides with which Jim concludes most of his items.
Diamond Jim has even carefully selected a tongue-twister for
the title of his new book. And I betcha can’t repeat it three
times rapidly! –Martin Gardner
