Reviews:
"In my opinion, it is one of the best works on mindreading that I have ever read. The material you are offering at the exceptional low price you are asking for the book is amazing." (Dunninger)
"Vaudeville Mind Reading is a volume much needed and well handled. Lustig's volume is interesting from cover to cover." (H. C. Kleeman, Sphinx magazine)
"The revised edition comes with a new cover design, increase in pages, and increase in material. This revised edition is to be recommended even more so than the original." (Dr. Milton A. Bridges)
