Seeking handcuff reproduction ---------------------------------- Message from Bob LaRue An escape artist friend is looking for a reproduction version of the famous French Lettercuff. He says that about ten years ago an Australian or New Zealand company advertised such an item. He would love to purchase a set, either new or preowned. Please reply to larue@bvsd.k12.co.us. ---------------------------------- 9. I know Danny Archer quite well ---------------------------------- Message from Bob LaRue I know Danny Archer quite well from his residence in Denver for the last couple of years... and can guarantee that all lecture attendees will have a great time and learn some very "do able" stuff. I use his Birthday Banner at every birthday party... and lots of other shows as well. He also carries some clever stuff by John T. Sheets that is well worth checking out. ---------------------------------- 10. Richard Webster's 71st book ---------------------------------- During the last week Richard Webster has signed contracts for two novels, one a sequel to "Seven Secrets to Success" which has now been translated into nine languages, and the other a New Zealand historical novel. Richard's 71st book will be published in the United States in May. Richard has a contract to write four books a year, and if he maintains that rate will comfortably achieve his ambition of having one hundred books published by the time he turns sixty. ---------------------------------- 11.
