The book explains and diagrams the classic theatrical vaudeville performance skills with top hats, canes, plates, nesting cups, and assorted objects. Authored by a noted touring professional, the book includes history and background, the applied physics of juggling and manipulation, the wide variety of mixed-object and combination stunts, and valuable presentation tips.
