Don't believe the lies
A long time ago we wrote about a lady known as Sticky Vicky who did a ‘magic’ act which involved removing items from her vagina. The video on YouTube has been removed.
The lady in question on the video was not the real and first Sticky Vicky who died recently at a good old age.
However, other people are certainly doing the same act, including the razor blades. Here are a couple of links:
So, what made me not write my book?
Well, have you ever been to the Wellcome Collection? If not, and if you are in London, especially near Euston, make a visit. They have displays and events on science, the body, medicine and more.
And some years ago they had an exhibition about magic. It was pretty good.
Afterwards, I was looking at the dedicated books in the bookshop, and found this: Experiencing The Impossible, by Gustav Kuhn.
So now we know. My Web searching skills are not so good.
Now, you can find this book easily enough, new copies and used. While it’s not really what I was aiming at, it does a good job and is worth a read. It has some faults (what book doesn’t), faults I could see mine would have only worse. So that was the end of that.
Oh well…
