BILL MC LAURY'S “ENCYCLOPEDIA OF ESCAPES II” ©2008

It's finally here!  44 years after the release of his 1964 original - and now classic - "Encyclopedia of Escapes", Bill McLaury has just published a contemporary, and MUCH LARGER, fully illustrated follow-up edition, entitled "Encyclopedia of Escapes II"!  As you know, the original edition featured many ideas that were provided by the leading escapists of that era.  The result was a wonderful, 118 page book.  Well, it's 2008, and escapes have experienced a resurgence of interest and popularity.  So, Mr. McLaury has scoured the world, and interviewed the leading escape artists of TODAY, and asked them to contribute many of their secrets in order to help Bill put together a MONUMENTAL follow-up book to the original.  The list of contributors reads like a "who's-who" in modern escapology.  If you can think of a contemporary escapist, chances are he or she is in this book.  But many of the original contributions from the 1964 book are also included.  The result?  THE NEW ENCYCLOPEDIA OF ESCAPES IS NOW  MORE THAN TWICE THE SIZE OF THE ORIGINAL!  IT IS NOW 286 PAGES!  

Content includes:  Rope and Shackle escapes, Sensational Escapes, Handcuffs, Thumb Cuffs, Jails, Padlocks, Lock-Picking, Spirit Ties and Vest Turning, John Novak, Suggested Escape Acts, Short Bios of MANY artists, and on and on and on!

And if that isn't enough, Bill McLaury will personally autograph and number your book!  THIS IS A LIMITED EDITION.  The first 1964 book now goes for over a $100 on the Internet.  You can bet that this book will also soon become a classic.  A MUST-HAVE in every serious performer's library.
