Stuntology

Coolest book ever! (or uh… lately!) We’ve already learned how to fart with a straw and an armpit.

We’ve learned to make a star with toothpicks and water. We’ve even learned move salami over our faces without touching it.

Lots of cool tricks, and harmless pranks. (Except maybe the one about the vaseline on the toilet seat. I really don’t recommend that one!)

We’re going to see him perform his stunts in a couple weeks. Skylar is totally excited.

From his website: “Absurd pranks and pointless techniques to amuse yourself, amaze your friends, and annoy everyone else.

I’ve always been fascinated with how people stay completely engaged using only what they have at hand. Whether it’s balancing a napkin on the end of their nose or balancing potatoes over every door in a friend’s house, boredom is unnecessary.

I documented stunts for about 20 years, got many of them while touring the country as a musician. Every time I got a new one I’d illustrate it and put it into my zine, The Journal of Stuntology. In my travels I distributed tens of thousands of these, and later self-published two books, both (almost) out of print.

Luckily, Workman Publishing just put out a compilation of the out of print books, which also includes many never published stunts. It’s awesome!!!!!”
