Hey Pete -

Nope - it's not...

Rices Encyclopedia - vol 2 page 1050

Mr. Stickley

Does anyone have any info on the prop, other than it's publication in Rice's?

Was this a standard Ireland's prop?

Anyone know where to obtain one?

Mr. Stickley

Mr. Stickley

Heard through the grape vine from a couple reliable sources that Paul Chosse had a massive heart attack and may not make it through the week.

Any Boston guys have any more info?

Keep him in your thoughts...

Keith

Mr. Stickley

I just saw a pic of the bike...

Don't mean to be a jerk but...

Wouldn't it kind of look like he's doggy stylin' some poor dead guys bones when he's riding it!?

Mr. Stickley

Interesting, Max. I do remember as a kid in the early 1980's going to both a B&BRB circus, as well as several Icecapade shows and seeing multiple actors (even on ice skates) with multiple legs. In fact, I distinctly remember one or more in police uniforms with the longer old school police jacket...

Mr. Stickley

Hey Lawrence...

What do you "predict" will happen?

Mr. Stickley

Unbelievably sad, but then again, for me at least, not surprising. I admire them greatly, but the times I have met them, and then watching their latest DVD set (which I thought was EXTREMELY sad - almost like they were giving up), something has always seemed "off". Add to that the strange ...

Mr. Stickley

Hi Noah, Having worked in professional (regional and equity shows) theatre as a magic consultant, I have a little bit of experience (but DARN I WISH EVEN MORE - it's too fun!) in this realm. Your situation reminds me of a very important lesson my directing professor Glenn Cassale (of Beauty and the ...

Mr. Stickley

Interesting concept. I think it's aesthetically pleasing and neat, but it doesn't seem very deceptive... I mean, whats the point? It has a really thick looking base, blades that don't penetrate it, two end boxes that doesn't move, and no convincer that any of the boxes actually contain a person... A...

Mr. Stickley

I for one can't see the reason for the negative attitudes towards Wade's "stunt". From the clips that I saw of it (and I have not yet seen all 6 episodes) - hoax or not - the production values far exceed much of the so called "publicity stunts" and magic specials broadcast on nat...

Mr. Stickley

Oh my goodness!

An entertainer who thinks for himself!?

String 'em up boys!

Mr. Stickley

Mr. Stickley

And one more thing re: "We make no money from copies sold in shops because we are forced to sell them at 50% off retail because that's what MAGIC charges." From my observations spending some time behind Denny Haney's counter, Genii usually was bought by a very different demographic than MA...

Mr. Stickley

Howdy All... I' reading this thread with interest as publishing, printing, and Internet distribution interest me. How do the changes effect your "business" - ie cash flow? I guess it depends if you see yourself as a "printer" in the technical sense, or if you are a publisher of c...

Mr. Stickley

Veegates,

Absolutely beautiful work on your version of Antonio Diavolo!

It is great to see. There are a couple of projects like that I wish to complete when I get my new house/shop and all is in order.

I'd love to talk with you about it.

Keith

Mr. Stickley

Sounds like you referring to "Gadabout Coins"? I do it occasionally. I played with it as published in Bobo as well as the Ron Bauer series. The Ron Bauer version really takes out all the "tells" and has strong emphasis on unity which makes it a much stronger trick that it really ...

Mr. Stickley

Denny Haney over at Denny and Lee had new Poor Charlie cards printed up last year he was selling with the Scotty York write-up, as well as a little instructional DVD.

Not sure if his cards were the same as the Dingle set or not, but they looked decent. I'd get in touch with him as well.

Mr. Stickley

Bill - If Chosse showed it to you, I would bet it is this... <a class="postlink" href="http://www.thinklikeaconjurer.com/insideinfo/rbinaction/Riffle-Action-Palm-TTT.rm">http://www.thinklikeaconjurer.com/insid ... alm-TTT.rm</a> and the work can be found in Genii, November 1982, ...

Mr. Stickley

For some REAL WORK on the convincing control, I recomend "Fair and Sloppy" put out by E-Gads as part of the Ron Bauer Private Studies. It's pretty cheap, only ten bucks still I think, and the handling there is explained in depth and really takes care of the "tells". If I remember...

Mr. Stickley

Wise choice, Richard!

Better late then never! Glad to be back!

Mr. Stickley

Did anyone else notice the write up on building a kids magic theatre in the March issue of Better Homes and Gardens (OK OK - insert metro-sexual jokes here!) featuring Lance Burton?

Wish my parents had seen this when I was 6!

Mr. Stickley

Mr. Stickley

The Nelson stuff seems to be rather hard to find these days. I do know that Denny and Lee carry's a lot of it.

Keith

Mr. Stickley

Sean,

I would check with Denny and Lee's (dennymagic.com). I seem to recall seeing one at one time in the Vegas shop.

Mr. Stickley

Hey Nicholas, I was the Magic Consultant for the production here in LV. We were using the script transposed off the original Broadway show, which luckily contained most of Benson's work on the show (and seemed pretty detailed). There was nothing earth shattering, as Marco the Magnificent was sort of...

Mr. Stickley

If you are in town tomorrow (Sunday Dec. 12) at 2pm there is a Matinee showing of CARNIVAL!, the musical that Roy Benson was magic consultant for on Broadway.

It is at the Judy Bailey Theatre on the campus of UNLV.

Mr. Stickley

I take it the no photos in the castle rule is over!? I was a bit suprised to see the new WhiteStripes music video set in the castle with kids running all over the place and sitting at the bar!

It was quite funny actually. It must have some people a bit up in arms though, eh!?

Mr. Stickley

Mr. Stickley

Unfortunately Richard, that's not quite correct.

Someone could write an unauthorized book about you replete with explanations, your image, name, etc... make tons of money on it, and you not see a dime.

Mr. Stickley

For sale! Viking/Lloyd Guinea pig box. Not mint condition, but very nice. Only a couple of minor scratches and dings. This is the style with the side door, not the new version that the bars flip down on. $80 plus shipping. I think they run around $150 new. Email me for details. <a href="ma...

Mr. Stickley

Hi folks. I am clearin' out the closet. Came across a wooden "stocks of zanzibar" like Abbott's used to (maybe still does) make. It is in OK condition, though you may want to make sturdier legs out of 2x4 stock if you were going to use it a lot. $60 plus whatever it costs to ship and its y...

Mr. Stickley

Peter, Hey fellow Vegas magi. When I fly with my stuff (and yes I do some fire eating), I simply pack and check my torches with the rest of my props. With the advent of a Walgreens on every corner in America (and soon the world), getting fluid has never been an issue (I was a bit worried in Hong Kon...

Mr. Stickley

Is Woodmagic Studio still in biz? Do they have a website?

Mr. Stickley

Mr. Stickley

Tom, No worries friend. Your feelings were not alone. I as well had a great time with friends, but I certainly wouldn't say that it was one of the best WMS's as a whole, and before the final show, I heard many of the same sentiments in the dealers room. In all honesty I heard quite a few complaints ...

Mr. Stickley

Hey Pete -

I'd hope you could charge for the show too...

:-D

Mr. Stickley

Seems the story may have changed...

I just received word from Mr. Porper after inquiring of purchasing some items, specifically the salt pour that due to a "conflict of interest" he will not be manufacturing the Paul Fox stuff. He didn't elaborate. Bummer.

Mr. Stickley

Of course I can't actually speak for Denny, but I have had the privilege of speaking with him at length and learning some things from him. After hearing from him about how HE learned comedy, specifically TIMING, by studying other comics he shared the bill with, I can see why he would be a proponent ...

Mr. Stickley

I think Simon Lovell has a great effect that is similar called either Fingered #2 or The two card and a glass juggle. Great trick, no duplicates. Published somewhere in the Magic Menu First Five Years.
