Re: Talking toy Monkey

have searched, but to no avail..
I could easily find out, as a friend still has a copy, but can't be assed to ring her
It was a slim paperback I got in infant school (so 1973-76).
from those book club that schools used to have..must have cost about 20p.(probably less)
it was spooky tricks or ghostly tricks, something like that.. had a black cover with a ghoul (white blanket type) on the front.
It showed you various "ghostly" tricks and illusions to perform.
As I say,I know someone with a copy, but I'd love to have my own copy

I can recall two of the tricks..one involved a sugar cube, which you wrota an 'S' on and then thru slight of hand transfered it to the palm of the person you were fooling.another involved a version of the 'sawing the lady in two' but with a blanket and some boots for the legs.
very old..very sad, but i'd love to get a copy.
was talking with my mum the other day and she still has her 1948 copy of "Heidi"

Just the one lead so far 1977? by Larry Kettelkamp -Spooky Magic

Re: Talking toy Monkey

This is not the cover I had (but then this edition is a 1955 version!)
but that was one of the tricks..and the book WAS American!
I think you've found it! Thanks!

Re: Talking toy Monkey

Just had an email from Oz, Jack is all wrapped up in bubble wrap, awaiting a big enough box to post him in, Bonnie thinks she should be able to post him on Thursday, so hopefully Jack will arrive in sunny old Stoke in the not so distant future.

Re: Talking toy Monkey

Pounds or Ozzie dollars Heather ?? If It's Dollars, that is £8-84, which is a lot - but NOT as much as you thought

[Heather74]

Nah Mum, it's cost her £21 in British pounds. Dont forget he is quite a large toy,with a voice box inside.

Wow, He sold for £16.22 Plus postage and packing of £5,But then he's a "proper" Jacko by Chad Valley!

Oh my God "OUR" Jack is already up to £29.00 + P'n'P
