Re: Looking for other info on 'puzzle' effect
Look for Winston Freer's "Perpetual Puzzle". Information on it can be found in the Nov 2016 Genii, pg 58. There was a similar effect published in Genii using a playing card. It's "Warp 9" by Masao Atsukawa. It's in the May 2000 issue. There's also a thing called "The Infini...

Stan Allen has done a great job with MAGIC and I was very pleased to be part of it from 1991 to 1998. Gloating? What about mourning. I love Magic, just as much as ...

Nice implication there. Do you HONESTYLY think we'd post all over the internet about helping a charity, and then pull the auctions a few days later?
