Silver Special

The Lost Treasure of Roy Johnson

By Roy Johnson

On March 9th 1982 Roy Johnson and his lovely wife Janet, celebrated their Silver Wedding Anniversary. To commemorate the occasion, Roy dedicated a new book that he had written to his favorite wife (as he put it). The book was to be entitled, SILVER SPECIAL.. Unfortunately, the manuscript was never published... Until 10 years later. A virtual treasure of baffling, practical and most important, ENTERTAINING Roy Johnson material. Everything from close-up and cabaret to mind shattering mentalism. Unearthed at last and just as new and fresh as the days and nights it was written..
