Flap Slate Wrinkles; A Treatise on Novel Uses of the Spirit Slates.
by U.F. Grant and H. Adrian Smith.
Cover design by John L. Rice
Pittsfield, Mass. 1931
Preface
In launching our little manuscript upon the world of criticism, we have one aim alone - that of providing the reader with some novel, and, we hope, effective means of using his old spirit slates.
In preparing this work, we have had to resort to the use of two old principles of slate manipulation, namely, the Window Envelope, and the move, which we have called in want of a better name, presenting "A Master Move With Slates". In these two methods, we lay no claim to originality. However, since they riay be unfamiliar to many of our readers, they are here included without further apologies for their presence.
Our first effort has been to provide effects which are far from the beaten path. This fact may be readily ascertained by glancing through the pages - for where will effects so far from the beaten path as "Cut and Restored Ribbon" and "A Three Card Monte" with slates be found?
Our work in devising these problems has been truly a labor of love, for if there is anything more enjoyable to the authors than searching for new effects, it is only in performing them. We sincerely hope that you will find our manuscript as interesting as we did in its preparation.
