Thanks Zach - I am forwarding your YouTube pg and info to the producers.

Also, we will be at the Juniors meeting today so please introduce yourself if you are in attendance.

A friend of mine is a producer on a national daytime talk show that tapes in LA and they are looking for a couple of talented kid magicians for an upcoming episode. They specifically want one or two performers between the ages of 7-12. Obviously it would be best if the youngsters reside in the South...

Best line of the day: "Hey Max, when you die, can I have your ponytail?" - David Regal (immediately following the fierce bidding and final selling price of $2750 on the Soo wig) Knowing I was going to show restraint and NOT bid on anything I almost chose to stay at home that morning. So gl...

I was pretty disappointed in this year's IBM convention. I actually had low expectations to begin with and I still managed to walk away disappointed. Now that's pretty sad. The overall bill was generally very "safe" and middle-of-the-road. That being said, I thought the Close-up show was t...

I'm glad they added the Comedy category since I always felt that the MC in the Palace (stage category) was genrally overlooked when awards were presented due to the fact that they had to be lumped in with the box illusionists, dove acts and manip acts. Many a week I exit the Palace doors feeling tha...

I placed my order via the web site yesterday for the regular edition and my order was quickly accepted. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Could someone please direct me to a web site for info on ordering this book? I recall seeing an ad in one of the magazines but can't find it right now.

Thanks

Infinity Broadcasting is trying to find a replacement for Howard Stern once he jumps to satellite radio in January. Penn is one name they are considering and he will be "auditioning" all this week via WCKG in Chicago. Best of all, the station streams for free on the net. <!-- m --><a class...

Rudy & I are good friends, primarily due to our mutual love of music. He still lives in Beverly Hills with his amazing wife Denise and continues to create cutting edge forms of entertainment. Last year Rudy toured the country extensively with musician Marilyn Manson creating some rather disturbi...

Magic Times was my designated home page & I would download the text from the site to my PDA daily (via Avantgo), in case I needed to read it away from my computer.

I will miss Magic Times.

It would have helped even more if most (or better yet all) of the powers that be at the Castle had actually taken the time to walk into the Palace that week and witness the Nocturnal Trio performance!

I received my books on Monday too. Spent every free moment pouring over the images. Can't wait to dig into the text!

I'm on it!

I found it somewhat annoying constantly scanning the table of contents for a specific effect in my copy of APME. So I created an alpha index. Much easier now. Here is that index, in case you prefer such things. I apologize in advance if you find any typos. I checked several times but am sure I misse...

A few years back, I was browsing at Hollywood Magic when this petite, blonde woman came in and started gathering up several hundred dollars worth of books as a gift for her husband. She was very attractive and I didn't want to stare but I kept thinking how she reminded me of someone I knew. As she e...

I received a letter from Dr. Albo, postmarked 1/28, stating that the books will arrive in San Francisco on 2/9. Each book will arrive individually boxed and pre-addressed. He expects the customs process to take 3-4 days for clearance after which all books will be mailed directly to each customer via...

The results of the elections will be announced this coming Sunday (2/17) at the annual members' meeting.

Dave, I would imagine you've already received a private response or two. But just in case, it's my understanding that all out-of-town I.B.M or S.A.M. members are always welcome to visit the Castle while in Los Angeles. Be sure to call the club in advance to reserve your dinner table. The main phone ...

Steve H.,

Got 'em. Thanks for the tips!
