*Note: Regarding the last two pictures we show in this listing. For the first one we simply scanned the image on the block as is. For the second one, we "flipped" the image so you can see what the block image will look like should you use it.
Printing block shows a diagram of the trick with a lot of text. It shows a fireplace and tongs, etc.
Printing block reads as follows:
"THE FIRE THAT DOES NOT CONSUME."
"Envelope containing questions held in fire tongs in the flames, seemingly everything is burned."
("real fire") - ("actually burned")
"The part of the envelope holding question is protected by tongs. The magician(?) drops guess on n(?) ashes recovering in later."
