Anyone?

Dan Trommater

Hello all,

I'm seeking a set of silver dollar sized CSB or 2 Copper, 1 Silver. Please contact me at dan@trommater.com

Thanks!

Dan Trommater

Can any of you still see the vid? I can't, but it may be because I'm trying to view from Canada.

?

Dan Trommater

bump.

Hello all, I'm looking to buy Ultimate Three Fly, specifically a 'soft' (slick, worn...) version. I'd be happy with just the gimmick, but would consider purchasing a full set. Get it out of your magic drawer and turn it into cash! Dan Trommater <a href="mailto:dan@trommater.com">dan@tromma...

I have a Richard Osterlind 'Epitome Board' for sale here. It is a non-gimmicked version of mental epic for use on stage or palour. It includes a blackboard, three small pieces of plastic (to cover the predictions), clips to hold those plastic cards and the instructions. I honestly have no idea what ...

Hear, hear!

I just attended the Niagara Comedy Magic Seminar and thought I'd report a little on the event. It was fantastic. It was so refreshing to be at a magic 'convention' that was not the standard fare. In addition to having an all-star lineup (Johnny and Pam Thomson, David Acer, Jay Sankey, Greg Frewin, e...

Hello all,

I'm seeking a way to visibly vanish a bill and am considering the ' Sand Card Frame '. For those of you who've had experience with one, can you tell me if a bill could be openly placed inside, then vanished?

Thanks in advance!

Jonathan Levit does this in his Parlour show, and he actually DOES IT. No tricks, he just cold memorizes every page in a magazine. Incredible.

Prices lowered...

Flipper - $40

Shell Set - $100

They won't last long at that price. Would consider a combo price on both.

Dan Trommater

A great deal for anyone who performs in Canada... Toonie Flipper Coin - Brand new and in perfect condition. Here, only $50, shipping to Canada included. (sells for $66.25 on Roy's site, plus shipping) Unexpanded Toonie Shell Set- Brand new set contains one unexpanded shell and 4 shaved-down and remi...

I'm looking to buy a Copper, Silver, Brass set. Ideally, I'd like Walking Liberty size, but a silver dollar set may be ok. A used set would be fine, as long as it's not too beat up.

Thanks!

Hello all,

Seeking a non-smoker to share a room at the Niagara Comedy Magic Seminar April 4th and 5th. I'm not a stick-in-the-mud, but I do like my sleep.

Anyone?

Dan Trommater

Thanks for opening the forum again Richard!

So, we've past Valentine's Day...

Anyone have any success stories?

(I mean about performing magic)

(No, not THAT kind of magic, get your head out of the gutter...)

Dan Trommater

Required reading: Tommy Wonder's "Approaching the Table" in the Books of Wonder Volume 2 (page 52). You may not agree with everything, but it WILL make you think.

Dan Trommater

GREAT idea Pete.

Dan Trommater

Thanks James. Good ideas. Though, I'm not sure about using cards to represent our spectators in a 'lovie' way, then stapling them (unless it's an S&M themed presentation) :)

Dan Trommater

James,

Great idea. Of course we're interested in more good stuff! Lay it on us.

Dan Trommater

Hello all. With only 2 weeks left before the holiday, let's generate a list of great magic for Valentine's Day. I'm thinking routines with a romantic theme that can be done for a couple. Also, please include the source if possible. I'll get the ball rolling. Doc Eason's Anniversary Waltz - his video...

Please forgive the sketchy details... I remember seeing someone (Norm Neilsen?) perform a beautiful routine with a bunch of sticks (maybe bamboo) held together with string. He formed different shapes with it, much like a troublewit. What is this thing called? Where can I learn more about it? Thanks!

Dan Trommater

What's the plot of Goose and Gander?

Thanks...

Dan Trommater

All of these ideas are much appreciated. Great idea about the Kurtz routine. It's perfect for this occasion. I've also thought of maybe doing the McCombical Deck using both the bride and groom. It could be a test of how "in-tune" they are with each other. He'd hold the prediction card agai...

Dan Trommater

Hi all, I've been asked by some good friends to perform magic at their wedding. It's a standup situation for around 250 people, so as much as I love it, I'm not sure Anniversary Waltz would play. I can do any of my regular standup stuff, but I'd like it to be meaningful for a couple. Any ideas on ot...

Dan Trommater

Though I just received the issue yesterday and have not had the opportunity to read the article, I do have a comment. This is the best cover of a Genii I've seen. Clean, simple, elegant, respectful. Great job. Richard, you mention that the drawing is from "an anonymous admirer". Isn't this...

Dan Trommater

David. Your email address through this board didn't work for me. We met a couple of times back in 2000 at Earth, Wind and Flour. I was living in LA at the time to hang at the Castle. I'm not sure that we've seen each other since. I'll be performing the chop cup routine at the Castle in a couple of w...

Dan Trommater

For an author to forgo the sale of one of his books and generously give the advice that appears here is incredible and a real testament to the community that is the Genii Forum. Thanks for sharing David.

I don't know how long they'll keep it up on the site, but you can see a clip of the show here...

Just got my copy last Friday (April 1). Great job on the layout. You've once again made my photos look great! Thanks a lot.

Dan Trommater

Rafael Benatar has a great video on the cups and balls. It deals with a lot of the underlying theory of misdirection and justification of moves.

Dan Trommater

I'm not entirely familiar with the routine, but perhaps one could incorporate it into a longer presentation and have the folded card be one of a number of things clipped together. There would still need to be a presentational reason for them being clipped together, but at least it's a start. As the ...

Dan Trommater

I believe that coin collectors will tell us that any abrasives (toothpaste, baking soda) are a bad idea. I used baking soda and water to make a paste that I rubbed on my silver dollars for years. Sure, it made them shine, but it irreversibly changes the surface of the coin. Go to a coin shop and loo...

Dan Trommater

I'll be there. Anyone else going?

Guy Hollingworth also has an in-the-hands false riffle shuffle in his book. Michael Close, on his Closely Guarded Secrets CD has an adaptation of it for use with the faro shuffle. Very nice.

Dan Trommater

Tommy Wonder has work on this. You can see it in action on his videos - Visions of Wonder

Dan Trommater

Well? Was it yours Richard?
