Very cool, even maps of the dealers' tables with layouts of the hotel. Thanks, Richard!

I have had the same problem for several issues, and eventually stopped attempting to read them on the iPad about 4 months ago. I was able to successfully download the last two issues a couple days ago, as an experiment, but it took all night, and the battery was just about dead by the time it was do...

I find your work and the photographs very intriguing. Did you shoot the pictures? Thank you for sharing your process and progress.

Hoping this helps: I'm using Safari version 5.1.7, which is the latest version available to the general public. Safari 6 is only available to developers. As stated earlier, the PDF loads clearly on the latest version available on my computer. On my iPhone, I am able to pull up the website in questio...

Keith Raygor

The sample pages opened up immediately for me on Mac using Safari. Crystal clear and well-done layout.

I received Tim's hardcover a few days ago, and after thumbing though it, I'm excited to read it in detail. Tim has been one of my favorite magicians for many years because of the choices he makes in structure and impact. His personality also goes a long way in his shows. Thanks for the heads up, Ric...

The next public theater performance of The Musical Mindreader is this coming Thursday in Bonita Springs, Florida at the Center for the Arts. Here is a link to more information: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.themusicalmindreader.com/CenterForArts.html">http://www.themusicalmindreader...

It's rare for any magazines to make it from the library/throne room to the living room. It only happens when there's an article I don't want to stop reading yet. The interview by David Regal with David Acer had me laughing out loud enough times in the first 2 pages, I just had to keep going. Great j...

Its a New Year and the perfect time to take a journey through my wonderful world of magic and music. And you can do this in a brand new setting: the new theater of The Art League of Bonita Springs, FL in the Promenade at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 27. Your adventure will be filled with sleight-of-...

TCG,
Didn't you receive a private email several hours ago from the IBM Membership Chairman offering to research and resolve your rather unusual situation?

From 2007 to 2010 is a long time to wait for resolution of a VISA card charge.

I suppose. But that wasn't what I had in mind when I bought a subscription.

Keith Raygor

That was just wonderful. Thanks.

Jim's mic cuts out at 11:57 at what may be a funny story, as we hear your laughter, but the entire story is missing until 12:37.

Keith Raygor

Nice to see a magician smiling and enjoying his job. Great video, will look forward to seeing the show.

Keith Raygor

Great story, Joe.

Please describe your trump card.

Since my teens, I've always had either of two visions of a magician, either a Mississippi River boat gambler-type character, like a Doc Holliday, or a Svengali pitchman. Not even sure why, but they were my fantasies as a child. It sounds like much of your life has been lived in ways I romanticize(d)...

I wanted to pass along a story that still has me amazed. I ordered a product from Todd Karr's Miracle Factory about 3 weeks ago and received it a week or so later. Due to my not reading the product description correctly, and not knowing that I needed another product that I did not own, I was unclear...

It was not given away to the group watching the demo. The response from your audience seems to suggest this as not all of them can be buyers. I have watched his demos a couple times, and that of his employees. I've seen them demo from the public area of the mall, outside the shop and give the secre...

I'm guessing that they tracked the keyword 'masked magician' and it led enough people to the P&H site that someone there is trying to capitalize on those searchers. Am I surprised P&H would use this strategy? No. But I wouldn't associate myself with them either. There is a new, local magic d...

A client needs a close-up magician for a graduation party in July in the Waterford/Clarkston area. If you are a pro and interested or know of someone in that area, please email me at

Thanks!

The Gathering is over and pictures have been posted on the website. Thank you to all that attended - what a day!

We are 3 days away from the big event! There are some surprises in store and a lot to fit in. We may just have to find a suitable place for libations and carry it over. If you decide to come and haven't emailed me, just bring the registration $ with you and drop me an email. There's going to be lots...

For quite some time, I'd been impressed by the number of serious students and practitioners of mentalism living in Florida. Because of this, and because the time we get to spend with one another and share knowledge is so limited, I decided to create a one-day event that would allow us an opportunity...

Keith Raygor

mrgoat, Because of the importance of this topic, at what may be a critical time in our art's development, I took the time and opportunity to peruse your blog in an effort to find context for your posts. I found where you took pride in trolling ("I deliberately trolled this group to try and get ...

People might know that mrgoat isn't my favourite person on this forum, but I cant help but feeling some sympathy for him here - don't shoot the messenger! In the search for objectivity in an already passionate discussion, are you the same El Mystico that mrgoat claims as his uncle and mentor in mag...

May I recommend the path that I took for an effect from my show: It starts at the janitorial supply store, auditioning the scents of about 30 different aroma spray canisters for a choice offering. Delivery methods can include secret assistants, your big toe under a table, or timed dispensers such as...

Jon Racherbaumer has some very interesting thoughts and quotes on this matter in his May 2008 Genii column. It sounds like the books he recommends explores and expands on mrgoat's viewpoint. The protectors of Intellectual Property face new challenges every day. And they carve out the details of new ...

Keith Raygor

No, as I have now repeated at least half a dozen times, my point is if you ADVERTISE the prosecution of these thieves it drives more thieves to steal because it educates them as to where they can steal from. This is irrefutable and I have provided several links with evidence that proves this. I wou...

I think some of the talent sets do overlap, and likely the most important ones. We've all experienced close-up performers that do not engage their audiences, and it isn't until they develop that charisma and ability to listen and interact that they engage. With rare exceptions, I believe it is a ski...

A hurricane in March? That would be magical.

I think the one I have has a circular hole, but a square flap, used for the cigarette. What is an acro gaff? Is it the hinge?

I'm not familiar with it being used with a flipper, but Don England produces a very well-made trapdoor card in which you can't see the gimmick.

I have a client that lives here in FL for part of the year, NJ for the rest of the year. She would like to hire a magician in the South Jersey area in Spring Lake Heights (exit 98, she says) for June 22. It is a family event for ages 6 to 80, approximately 50 people. Can anyone recommend a good pro ...

The theater is beautiful - same theater they used for the 2006 IBM conv. Its quite a nice downtown area, they had Marshall Tucker Band playing outside for free at an entertainment complex call Fourth Street Live! which is near the Galt House. Lots of entertainment venues. I'm looking forward to that...

The audiobook gave me an opportunity to listen to your book while driving, so thank you for making it available. I loved the dialects and characters - its a wonderful talent I envy. My favorite part of the book was your chapter on Bob Read, and hearing your respect shine through. Thank you for bring...
