Roy Walton's "Oil and Queens" has a great ending revealing the four Queens. I want to replace the Queens for four members of the 1975 Cincinnati Reds baseball team as you patter, and "these are the Reds". Any ideas on where to have these cards made. Thank you, Roy McIlwee, Scrant...

Roy McIlwee

Very funny! How could anyone ever compare Bill Malone's great technical ability to an inferior card man like Blaine? Great video. Roy Mcilwee, Scranton, Penna.

Brian, Yes she annnoyed me long before that clip. I simply dislike people who put down magicians. Roy McIlwee, Scranton, Pa.

Roy McIlwee

I detected NO respect for magic or magicians in her clip. To me she has always been a very repulsive comedian relying on mostly crotch humor to get her laughs. That clip annoyed me. Then again, that's just my take. Roy McIlwee, Scarnton, Penna.

Martin,
Claude Rix is the originator. Bill Wisch saw him perform this trick in NYC in July of 1971. In 1978 Wisch added the fitting name "Killer" and the use of an invisible die. Thank you, Roy McIlwee, Scranton, Penna.

Roy McIlwee

See Bill Wisch and Claud Rix.

Harry,
I remember the tremendous reaction you got from some of the greatest magical minds at a late 1980s Tannens Jubilee convention after performing your "Magic Square". Roy McIlwee, Scranton, Pa.

I'm looking for a copy of J. C. Wagners 164 page hardbound book by Mike Maxwell. Anyone have a copy to sell? Thank you, Roy McIlwee, Scranton, Pa. Email: MMcil68519@aol.com

Thanks for the advice. I got the dice from Kardwell and they work perfectly. Roy McIlwee, Scranton, Penna.

Would anyone happen to have or know where I could get a 4 inch Jumbo red die to match the ones that Paul Gertnet was seling. He is out of them at this time and I haven't been able to locate one. Anyone have one gathering dust on a shelf somewhere? Thank you, Roy McIlwee, Scranton, Penna

David Regal's review of Steve Dushecks Copper Silver Transposition was great!! Thank you, Roy McIlwee Scranton, Penna.

Roy McIlwee

That show was laughable, set mentalism back 50 years. Roy McIlwee, Scranton, Penna.

Patrick, Thank you very much. Roy McIlwee, Scranton, Penna.

Would anyone happen to know what year "The Pendragons" performed at Tannen's Jubilee. I beleive it was 1989 and am looking for the issue of Magic Manuscript that reveiwed that Jubilee. Ascanio also was at that convention. Thank you, Roy McIlwee, Scranton, Penna.

Roy McIlwee

Would anyone know which issue of Tannen's Magic Manuscript reviewed the Tannen's Jubilee that the Pendragons appeared? Ascanio was also at this Jubilee. I beleive the issue may be September/October 1989. Any info would be appreciated. Thank you, Roy McIlwee, Scranton, Pa.

Anyone have "Grand Hole-tel" in good shape and willing to sell? Thank you, Roy McIlwee, Scranton, Penna.

I have come across a few items made by the Embree Manufacturing Co. One is a magic set called "Senior Magic Set" and the other items are called "Kopeefun" magic copy paper kit dated 1940. The magic set has 20 different tricks all packaged in individual red and white boxes. Anyone...

In case anyone is interested, the saying "The Show Must Go On" is widely accepted as being first said by Sir Harry Lauder. Upon hearing of his sons death in World war I, many urged Harry not to take the stage that night but Harry insisted and is said to have said, "The Show Must Go On...

These are not my auctions, but thought I would give a heads up............. Roy McIlwee

Roy McIlwee

A half pass at the moment in question would create a discrepancy.(The left hand packet would end up face down). By openly turning the left hand packet face down you are set to display. The appearance you want is that you simply peeled four face up aces onto the left hand packet, retained those four ...

Having read both Volumes of Harry Loraynes Best of Friends Vol 1 and 2., I wonder why Derek Dingle would not be included? Was he not the best close up artist in New York at that time?? Very curioius to know why. Roy McIlwee.

Roy McIlwee

Ryan,
Check out Roy Walton's "Play It Again Sam" on page 74 of The Complete Walton Volume #2. It is a great version of the Piano Card Trick. Roy

Angelic, I was really curious to find out the financial aspects of pitching Svengali Decks but I guess this open forum would not be an appropriate place for such particulars. Hopefully some other aspects of the art of pitching will come up on this thread. Good Luck, Roy McIlwee.

Roy McIlwee

Hey Angelic, If you're in the mood I would appreciate a few pointers on the art of pitching Svengali Decks. Roy McIlwee, Pocono area.

I broke my right hand at work the other day and it will be in a cast for 6 weeks. Am looking for any suggestions as to effects that use the left hand only. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Roy McIlwee.

Roy McIlwee

I broke my right hand at work yesterday and it will be in a cast for approximately 2 months. Being right handed, I thought this would be a good time to practice some sleights using my left hand. Any sugestions would be apreciated. Thank you,Roy McIlwee.

Roy McIlwee

Malcolm, Check out Richard Osterlind's "The Surrounded Slow-Motion Center Tear...And Other Techniques. My wife and I saw Richard do this effect many years ago and she still says that was the purest form of magic she had ever seen!!!(That's not saying much about me!!). Good luck, Roy McIlwee.

Roy McIlwee

Steve, Was your card the two of hearts?? LOL Roy McIlwee

Roy McIlwee

Lou, Another great book on the pass is by Gary Ouellet called "The Pass".It is a very detailed account of how to learn the pass, move by move. Check it out, I think you may like this book. Roy McIlwee.

Derek Dingles'"DD on LJ's Wild Card", page 40 in the Dingle book. Clever ditching of the joker here!!

I'd like to put a ten timer in on Salt-Less.

Dai Vernon in his column "The Vernon Touch" dated January 1987 (Volume 50 No 7) answers a letter he received from a novice asking him for some advice on starting out in magic. His entire column is loaded with great advice and a few of the books that he would recommend the novice to study. ...

Roy McIlwee

Jonathan, A great Dingle packet trick using a joker is his "DD on LJ's Wild Card" on page 40 of "The Complete Works of Derek Dingle" Any info on the packet trick of Dingles that you mentioned would be greatly appreciated. Dingle lectured today at Magic on Manhattan and would have...

Roy McIlwee

There's a nice little gem in Golsteins "Focus" using the jokers called "A Fine Mesh".

Roy McIlwee

I saw that Derek Dingle was going to lecture at the Magic on Manhattan convention on November 23. Does anyone know if he has been performing anywhere in the New York area? Any info on Dingle would be greatly appreciated. Roy McIlwee, Scranton, Pennsylvania.

Your daughter is getting married in three weeks and you're still wondering if you should really leave the cards home.

Roy McIlwee

Richard, I have a copy of that video of Del Ray at the Tannens Jubilee and the performance was priceless. He was doing his act for the Tannen regulars and had them gasping at his dice routine. He used Dick Cavett as a spectator and many of the onlookers could be seen wiping the tears from their eyes...
