A magnificent collection of fascinating articles from all over the globe, for your perusal. Inside this issue:Mitsunobu Matsuyama discusses a mathematical mind reading effect in his article, "Metsuke-ji: The Trick that Taught a Country." In addition to the history and method of the effect, Matsuyama details the influence of the trick and how it helped to elevate the literacy rate in Japan.
Next, we are very pleased to offer "The Emperor of Coins: Allan Shaw," by Jerry Christensen. Allan Shaw was one of the great coin magicians of all time but, aside from a few published items and his claim to being one of the inventors of the coin roll, most magicians don't have great familiarity with him or his work. This article hopes to change that.
Many of our readers are familiar with Magic Christian, author of the exceptional Non Plus Ultra books on Johann Nepomuk Hofzinser. Mr. Christian has been kind enough to send us an article on his latest discoveries with regard to the great Viennese card handler in "The Truth: The Fate of Hofzinser's Props."
We round out our issue with "One Thousand and One Years of Persian Magic," by Reza Saberi. This article concerns a work by Ayyub Alhaseb Tabari, titled Tuhfat al-Ghraib. This work, whose title translates in English to The Gift of Wonder, is estimated to date from around 978 to 1135 CE and falls into the genre of books of secrets which is more commonly found in the sixteenth-century Italian tradition. Mr. Saberi brought this work to our attention and also translated two full chapters of it -- these contain the bulk of the work that relates to our field.
This issue runs the gamut, and we think you will find much of interest.

Pillow comfort and quality
Size: Queen / Standard, Color: White
Bought this for my husband. He is very happy with it. It is well constructed. He doesn’t like too firm or too soft. It meets those requirements. Very reasonably priced. I have bought very expensive pillows that aren’t even comfortable!

Pretty good.
Size: Queen / Standard, Color: White
Me and my fiancé have been going through a lot of pillows, trying to find the right ones. We go to this local hotel to unwind and use the whirlpool sometimes. Their pillows are immaculate. So I starting looking at “Hotel Pillows”. These are not the same as the hotel pillows, not even close tbh, but they are the best ones I’ve bought so far. They are comfy from day one. I was worried when opening the box and seeing that they had the same cover on them as others I bought before, but they were not the same. Pretty comfortable, and less neck pain than any of the other ones. My house is like the house of pillows and I am finally going to start getting rid of the old ones. Maybe we’ll find some down pillows to put on our registry, but until then, these are staying on my bed.

Great pillows
Team Name: Pack of 2, Size: Queen - 20" x 30", Color: White
These are very comfortable, after few sleeps since I got them, they haven't got flat at all, they are really good looking, retain shape well even inside a pillow case, they fit perfect on queen size pillow cases, and they dont get hot while asleep.

A nice comfy pillow.
Team Name: Pack of 2, Size: Queen - 20" x 30", Color: Blue Edge
A Recently had a pillow that broke and needed a new one. I love this pillows firmness. This pillow is expensive just for one, but I gave the other pillow to my brother as I thought if one of his pillows falls apart, he has one too. I’m not sure how durable this pillow is, but it looks pretty sturdy. It does get flat within 3 weeks after opening. It does not cool.
