Now in paperback comes Jim Steinmeyer's astonishing chronicle of half a century of illusionary innovation, backstage chicanery, and keen competition within the world of magicians. Lauded by today's finest magicians and critics, Hiding the Elephant is a cultural history of the efforts among legendary conjurers to make things materialize, levitate, and disappear. Steinmeyer unveils the secrets and life stories of the fascinating personalities behind optical marvels such as floating ghosts interacting with live actors, disembodied heads, and vanishing ladies. He demystifies Pepper's Ghost, Harry Kellar's Levitation of Princess Karnak, Charles Morritt's Disappearing Donkey, and Houdini's landmark vanishing of Jennie the elephant in 1918. The dramatic mix of science and history, with revealing diagrams, photographs and magicians' portraits by William Stout, provides a glimpse behind the curtain at the backstage story of magic.Binding Type: Paperback

Great chew toy for all size pups
I had to replace a headless / tailless T-Rex. Bargain - I bought a five pack of the large Dinos for less than a three pack of the small ones.

Favorite Chew Toy for Multiple Dogs
My dogs love these! My dog, Tucker (RIP) decided this was his favorite thing to chew (he had the Stegosaurus) and what was left of those passed down to the next 2 dogs who also love them. Since they had gotten a bit small over the years, I gifted them with a 5-pack. I thought it would be multiple types of dinosaurs, but they were all Brontosauruses (which is fine - those are large and should last quite a long time). Both my 54 lb. dog and 25 lb. dog love these! They gnaw on them regularly and there's almost no sign of wear. So, although they're a bit pricey, you should get a lot of use over a long period of time.

I have 6 dogs that love these
I used to manage a dog boarding facility. Thousands of dogs. Maybe one or two had ever had nylabones that they actually chewed on. I’m on my second pack of dogs and every dog that I have had, loves these. And their teeth are unusually clean the vet has always said. Saved me a ton on dental work for dogs over the years I definitely believe. Be careful, they are like legos to step on.

My dogs love these
These are twice the price in stores so the price is a steal. My dogs are heavy chewers but become possesive over real bones i bought some of these. They work really well, my dogs are obsessed with them. If i buy the other products of nylabone they dont like as much. Sonething about the dinosaurs they love.
They last quite a while and the nubs help clean their teeth.
