The James FileЦитата:
Within these volumes are meticulously described 556 tricks and routines conceived by Stewart James. Of these, 478 have not been published before. Many of the originations of this extraordinary man appearing here for the first time are brilliant, some are transcendent. And of the 148 choice variants of his inventions created by others, 74 have not seen print before.
