The Art of Ventriloquism.

img1.jpg

This great book was written by the celebrated Frederic Maccabe, one of the most famous of the world’s ventriloquists. Mr. Maccabe here clearly shows that ventriloquism is not a natural gift, but that by training and practice it may be acquired by any one, and it is certainly an accomplishment well worth cultivating, for nothing will so amuse and mystify a social gathering as the feats of the ventriloquist. He appears to be a man of a dozen voices. In his natural tone of voice he asks a question, and the answer appears to come from the depths of the chimney in the weak accents of a little child. Again, we hear the voice of an old man appearing to proceed from the roof of the building, the distant barking of a dog, etc., etc. These wonderful imitations are performed without the slightest movement of the lips, greatly to the astonishment of the audience. Would you not like to acquire this amusing and mystifying accomplishment? You can do so easily and readily by studying the directions contained in this book, which is the best and most complete instructor in the art of ventriloquism ever published. It is a book of 64 large, double-column pages, bound in attractive colored paper covers, and will be sent by mail post-paid upon receipt of only Ten Cents.
