anyway, that chemistry set looks amazing. I had one when I was a kid, but the instruction book was missing. My parents told me they would write away for a replacement, but they never did. My Mom was worried about me mixing things up unguided, so we went to the library, and I found a terrific book called Chemical Magic. It provided formulas for making invisible ink, changing color liquids, flame-proof dollar bills, colored smoke, all stuff that would go into putting on a magic show. I burnt a hole in the kitchen linoleum floor trying out the dollar bill thing. The whole endeavor came to an end shortly thereafter.
