The Latest Special Effects Techniques Explained

Believe it or not, there once was a publication similar to AFN that was devoted to giving readers the most current special effects techniques used on stage and in the movies. Like a magician, most tricks were highly guarded personal secrets. Ed Bartek of Special F/X Inc. brought some of these techniques to light and explained them in a simple, jargon-free way.

Sadly, the publication only lasted 3 years and 18 issues in all. But we have them ALL, bound into a nice soft cover book. The cover price of each issue was .50 making this a 5.00 value. But you can have your own copy for the small donation of only .

(Your donation will go toward a non-profit research organization, that is AFN. We didn't plan to be non-profit. The gov't stimulus package hasn't stimulated any of our pyros).

Notice: LIMITED AVAILABILITY! Less than 100 copies were found in the archives. Order today!

Please note: We are waiting for the cover you see above to come from the printers, we expect to start shipping on May 14th.

We are working on a digital e-book version of this project. Please email for details.
