Ross, Faucett. Faucett Ross's Notebooks and Patter Scripts. Hand- and typewritten by Ross and recording his methods and scripts for various routines in his professional repertoire, perfected over decades of performing in the American Midwest. Tricks and routines include Ross's Spook/Ghost Show (both typewritten and handwritten scripts and stage directions), a Kitchen Table Levitation, a Full Evening Performance, The Edward Gilland (Eddie McGuire) and T. Nelson Downs Pinochle Stunts, Gilland's Mystifying Whist Trick, Sam Horowitz's "Traveling Queens," and others. Many pages ragged, but good condition overall, neatly organized in three black ring binders. Ross's own copy of the famous Vernon Three-Dollar Manuscript is included in the lot. A penciled notation on the first leaf of the manuscript states, "This was Faucett's personal copy, bound into his brown card-covered legal-sized show script book. Given to me as a gift when I visited with him & interviewed him ca. 1982. Jeff Busby."
