Video link not working for Magicana

Not sure where to post this but it looks like the video link for Magicana is not working for the latest issue. The one with Richard Turner on the cover. I am using an iPad and other video links are fine.

Thanks,

Re: 2012 Golden Gate Gathering

Hi Richard, I'm the guy taking rubber chicken pictures. I saw that David Regal always had people trying to strangle him so I decided to have people pose with RC (Rubber Chicken). Enjoy your magazine and the site. Sending you a collage of some of the magicians who have posed with RC. All the best, Gary

Re: New Book Coming on the Card Magic of David Berglas

Hi Richard,

I wonder if the Bound Printed Matter is the same thing as Book Rate. I have used Book Rate in the past and I don't recall it taking anything like the time this is taking.

Hopefully folks aren't being too hard on you.

Take care,

Now that's a scary thought if the printer is determining what is urban and what is rural! This whole exercise has shed some light on an area of the post office that I was unaware of. So at least it's been a good learning experience.

Re: New Book Coming on the Card Magic of David Berglas

If San Francisco is considered "rural" then Roseville (near Sacramento) must be considered "rustic". However, I do remember having to dodge cows in the road on the way to work back in the late 80's.
