Hand shadows soon on a wall near you

The brief, but complete manuscript of Henry Bursill's Hand Shadows to Be Thrown on a Wall is available, online, for free, for you, personally, thanks to the gute Völker at the Gutenberg Project.

Youtube has some great clips of hand shadow performances. The Richard Balzer collection features an inspiring hand shadow webpage as well as other playworthy illusions.

So much fun to fool the eye and tickle the mind.
