Description: Ghost Show Lot of 3 Titles by Robert A. Nelson and Syl Reilly Three nearly impossible to find vintage booklets, now available once again! If you're a spook show collector or want to host one yourself (perhaps as a charity fundraiser or to promote your magic show), this lot will be of interest to you. This lot contains the following titles: 1. Nelson's True Ghost Story Script By Robert A. Nelson Designed to be performed similar to an "old time radio" presentation or as an "in one" presentation with the performer reading the script "live" while the backstage crew are setting up for the "blackout" finale. Note: This is somewhat similar to the script contained in Nelson's "London Midnight Ghost Show" book. However, Nelson wrote a different ending for this edition. It may well leave the spectator more satisfied than his previous script. Includes the story (of interest to collectors) of how Nelson thought this particular title was out of print forever. But just as he was typing a response to this effect to a potential customer, he managed to find one surviving original. 2022 revised edition features three new chapters. 17 pages plus supplement. Soft covers, saddle-stitched. 2. Ghost Show Routine By S. W. Reilly This was Syl Reilly's answer to Nelson's ghost show books. A former confidante of Nelson, Reilly struck out on his own after working at the Nelson Enterprises. From the Introduction: "Occasionally, magicians ask for a ghost show routine to complement their regular program; one that is rather simple to perform and yet supplies a ghostly atmosphere on any darkened stage, The following routine, devised and audience tested by Syl Reilly, leaves nothing to be desired." As a special added attraction, this edition contains four pages lifted from Reilly's Ghost Show Catalog. 2022 revised edition with three new chapters. 21 pages plus supplement. Soft covers, saddle-stitched. 3. The Haunted HouseBy S. W. Reilly Here is Syl Reilly's answer to Nelson's Ghost Show script. Instead of an auditory experience, Reilly provides a one act playlet using live actors. Use it as an added feature in your own spook show to give it depth. Or add it to your regular magic act as a sort of "live action trailer" to advertise your ghost show coming attraction. The original of the script, as sold by Reilly, is nearly impossible to find nowadays. Now you can add this prized piece of spook show memorabilia to your personal collection. 2022 revised edition includes an extra chapter plus additional added material. 25 pages plus supplement. Soft covers, saddle-stitched. Be sure to take advantage of our low combined shipping cost. Postage is just $1 each per additional title when you pay for your combined order from your eBay shopping cart. (To get the discount, you must use eBay's "add to cart" feature for each title.)
