Re: Books Lecture Notes Steve Forte , Derek Dingle, Tom Mullica & Many Others
$92 postage for a spiral bound booklet seems a little excessive.

Re: The magician who went to work on a motor bike!
It has not gone unnoticed by me that hardly anyone talks about children's entertainment on this site which is rather odd since it is probably the area where more shows are performed by magicians than anywhere else. Still, I suppose this is because nobody on here knows much about it (except probably...

Georges Méliès' forgotten stories
New book!
Just backed this on Kickstarter.
I'm guessing others may be interested.

Re: Why glossy pages?
Stars of Magic, I think it was the Robbin's reprint, is a perfect example of why you should NOT print on non glossy paper. I gave up on it and bought an original printing.

Re: Your Suggestions for the New Edition of Greater Magic
Eoin, there are already sections in the book on various types of gimmicked cards, but they are generally for wide type use. In other words, double-backed, double-faced, and so on--things you can use in many tricks. Do you have something specific in mind? I was thinking off the basics like splitting...

Re: faro shuffle
I have a scan of the book.
I think these links refer to the shuffle in question, it's in the section on the game of faro. Which may be where the confusion comes from.

The back design appears to be an anamorphic illusion, of sorts, if the design is viewed end on, a series of squiggles is the dominant design. Viewed side on, at an acute angle, and the dominant design seen is a series of parallel lines. (I'm doing this on an iPhone and the illusion is pretty clear) ...

A set of the L&L Castle Notebooks are for sale on ebay at the moment,

The seller says that they are signed, I thought these volumes were published after Bruce Cervon's death, am I correct?
