Hardback. Zustand: Good. For over 30 years, the name MacGyver has been synonymous with astonishing feats of ingenuity, from fixing a car with nothing but water and egg whites to busting out of jail using a hairpin and a pair of repurposed handcuffs to, of course, saving the world with his favorite weapon, a simple paperclip. What you might not know is that every trick that the resourceful secret agent pulls off on CBS's hit show has been tested and fact-checked by experts, and really works . . . most of the time. No one is saying that you should craft a DIY airplane out of trash bags and a lawnmower engine. But with this book, you could. The first official how-to guide to the MacGyver universe, this book is packed with how-to drawings and step-by-step descriptions of the hacks that made this character the world's most resourceful secret agent. Based on the hit new series, with shout-outs to the classic show that started it all. Special sections feature interviews with the show's resident experts and guests who actually concoct and test every contraption . . . including hilarious and hair-raising tales of a few that didn't go so well. Full-color photos illustrate Angus MacGyver in his element (which is to say, danger ), and illustrated how-to drawings show exactly how it was done. The best hacks to try at home for yourself are highlighted (as well the ones you really, really should never do without a team of physicists and a first aid kit handy). So grab a paper clip, a pen knife, and some duct tape and prepare to save the day Contents include: Your Toolbox: From bicycle tubes to vinegar, the 45 most useful tools in a Phoenix Agent's toolkit. 13 Ways to Escape a Locked Room 43 DIY Spying Devices 18 Getaway Hacks 22 Ways to Baffle a Bad Guy 19 Formulas for Averting Imminent Disaster.…
