The Genii Forum

This is one of those books I'll have to set aside some money for. Looks great, Richard.

I know this is really hard to come by, but if anyone has an issue they wouldn't mind parting with, message me or email me at anonymousmagician [at] gmail.com. Thanks!

Thanks, Mr. Webb! Yes: ATFUS would work as well; however, I find moves like ATFUS, SS, and the Braue Addition to feel very unnatural since they require you to go to the deck for no particular reason. (M. Close has written about this previously). I also find the displays of the cards look unnatural ...

Rick F Wrote : "I also agree with others when they point out that spectators can sometimes sense that either they have been misdirected or deem the moment ripe for the magician to have done something sneaky." I think the challenge for the modern magician then becomes to seek to do tricks ...

at least one person has made the comparison to the largely literary movement that was the foundation for much of the bizarre magic literature.

What's the context of the routine, if you don't mind sharing?

Context: Spread through face up deck, upjog or take out 4 indifferent...

In that case, nice to meet you, Richard!

All humor aside, I understand the hesitance.

Action Palm (actionpalm.wordpress.com) is another good one. I wish Tony Chang's Double Facers blog was still up. (Or his lecture at the Magic Session, for that matter.)

Would, then, a pseudonym suffice? Assuming it's a consistent pseudonym one uses.

Richard, is it possible to submit with a pseudonym or anonymously? (As my username would imply.)

I agree with Scott M. I found Alex Hansford's work through Larry, and I'm glad I did. Larry also covers some more obscure stuff, like those Tony Chang notes that are impossible to find. Definitely more offbeat, but worth reading. He seems to have disappeared, though, at least for now.
