Deserting the Legion by Tom Stone

This, a somewhat older Tom Stone collection, features some terrific hidden gems, including a commercial book test called “Siamese Booktest,” which uses two books to great comedic effect. “Occhamman Now” is Tom’s thinking on Brother Hamman’s “The Signed Card,” which brings many new touches to this classic routine. But the highlight here, perhaps, is “Conic Relief,” a complete reimagining of Vernon’s classic Ball and Cone routine.
