Here, for the first time since their initial appearance in the pulp magazines of over seventy years ago, are two humorous mysteries by Lester Dent, the author of the Doc Savage series. "Hades" foreshadows the last Doc Savage novel with a film producer's discovery of a seeming entrance to Hell. "Hocus Pocus" focuses on the activities of a sinister cult. The plots are elaborate , the devices fantastic, the characters pure pulp. The action never stops.
The jacket illustration is by Frank Hamilton.
My new friend Winnie and I started watching Hocus Pocus on Friday night. I was working on uploading my 365s when I got some terrible news. My entire weekend was derailed 😢
More being documented in my weekend 365 photos. Hold tight.
Minhas unhas quebraram e tive que deixar bem cotoquinhas, e não sei porque, mas acho que cotocas combinam com glitter, então aproveitei pra usar esse lindo, que eu comprei há mais de um ano em kit de Halloween da Color Club, vieram 4 mini esmaltes e uma cartela de adesivos, que eu usei aqui nesta foto www.flickr.com/photos/kellysantana/10589249816/.

Howard Thurston (1869 -1936) was a stage magician from Columbus, Ohio who ran away to join the circus in childhood. He eventually became the most famous magician of his time. Thurston's traveling magic show was the biggest one of all; it was so large that it needed eight train cars to transport his road show.
He is still famous for his work with playing cards, billing himself as the King of Cards. According to legend, a Mexican magician appeared at a magic shop owned by Otto Maurer in New York City. The enigmatic magician demonstrated how he could make cards disappear, one by one, at his fingertips. Maurer showed Thurston the move, which he would later feature in his act.
He added the "Rising Cards" trick from Professor Hoffman’s "Modern Magic," the book from which Thurston had learned the rudiments of magic. For this trick, he would walk into the audience and ask several people to choose cards from a deck of cards. The deck was shuffled and placed into a clear glass. Thurston would then call for the chosen cards. One by one the cards would rise up to the top of the deck. When audiences wanted the cards to rise higher, he developed a way of causing the cards to rise directly out of the pack.
Thurston continued to present the traveling magic show following the retirement of his partner, Harry Kellar. He kept up the grind for about thirty years until, on March 30, 1936, he suffered a stroke from a cerebral hemorrhage. He died on April 13 at his Oceanside apartment in Miami Beach, Florida.

The mentalist Joseph Dunninger (1892 – 1975) was one of the pioneer performers of magic on American radio and television, appearing on radio starting in 1943 and on television in the 1950s and 60s. He had a standing offer of $10,000 to anyone who could prove that he used confederates or “stooges” and to any medium who could produce by psychic or supernatural means any physical phenomena that he could not reproduce by natural means.
