I bought the new ones Mike carries and they are superior than anything I could find elsewhere:

I live in Manhattan. Where is this?

Times are very tough for brick and mortar magic dealers, and ALL magic dealers. The desperation brought on my the possibility of economic catastrophe sometimes leads men to criminal acts, or suicide. If Hank Lee is guilty, then a little good old pity might be in order. There's a difference, albeit ...

The Cafe thread would have been locked/deleted under different circumstances. They have the owners blessing, so it remains.

bagelsandlox

Such sad news. Very sorry to hear of your loss and heartbreak!

bagelsandlox

Seems like a bloody good project, sans the mysterious owner. Maybe we'll all be invited to an old house on an island, like in Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None".

Good show! I'm in.

Those two jokers show at Blackpool? I bet they had their little fan boys cheering them on.

Time to bring this thread back to life so that young Dustin Stinett has something to chat about.

Has David Penn been arrested yet for breaking UK law ( passing on secret recordings to a third party)?

bagelsandlox

Ever watch the Petty/Penn show and how it's clear these two know nothing about magic history? They are quite ignorant. That's BAD for people that review products. I watched a Petty dvd and couldn't believe what a horrid performer he is. I'm actually not surprised they turned out to be lying, unethic...

I stopped ordering from Hank in 1999. I wonder how he stays in business.

@Dustin Stinnet: It takes some major digging to find a ten-year-old thread to resurrect? You 'assume' quiet a bit. First off, a google search brought this up. Do you know anything about search engine and Google? Second, you assume the goal was to "resurrect"? You must spend your time on co...

@Dustin Stinnet: do the dates of these threads matter? If birthday wishes were being given and the person was long dead, I could see you raising the point.

Dustin, do you only perform new magic in fear someone may say "do you realize that trick is over 200 hundred years old?"

If they don't like books, some guy named Coughingman or something like that, has a lovely video ( now on DVD ) called "Basic Basic Card Magic". It teaches the proper way to do the essential sleights, without using sprays. Magic has a way of standing still, but it's sad when it goes backwar...

Roy Walton's Card Warp is an incredible piece of magic. Some things are best left alone.

bagelsandlox

I watched this recently at the club. The "finale" takes away, doesn't add to, the beauty that is Card Warp.

Seems like something the kiddies would come up that people in the know would laugh at.

Science Friction has very pretty packaging. They makes a pretty lure for the hobbyist that can't get the hang double lifts and Ghost Counts.

Anyone that ever sat at Vernon's feet knows exactly what eh'd say about The Asher Twist.

"It's not magic. You're just showing how clever you are".

This is the type of magic he hated.

bagelsandlox

I learned the Top Card Cover Pass from Harry Lorayne's Stars Of Magic video. It was the missing piece to my doing a good classic pass.

bagelsandlox

It was amazing he was invited back in the first place.

Mark Lewis has been banned from the cafe.

bagelsandlox

He's stirring the pot over their. I wonder if Brooks will regret his decision to let him return?

bagelsandlox

Mark Lewis is an active member of the Cafe and posts daily.

bagelsandlox

It's great when 14 year old kids rant about credit in a book from 1960. They are so smart.

bagelsandlox

My pet peeve is the magic retail world. 99% of what is released is garbage and we have phoney 'endorsements' from online friends to make it worse

bagelsandlox

Some morons on the magic cafe are questioning Harry's crediting. They should shut that site down.

The Bending DVD is getting slammed on the green monster.

One of my favorite dvd sets. MC strikes again!

I think Shakespeares overrated. Its [censored]. Id never go and see a Shakespeare play. Who cares? I dont know why actors do it. Shakespeare is just a bunch of soap operas" ...Billy Bob Thornton, Academy Award-winning screenwriter, actor. And Billy Bob is relevant to anyone, anywhere, why? Are...

bagelsandlox

Yep, I can login now. They had there backups going. It's always 1995 with Cafe technology!

bagelsandlox

The suck ups on the Cafe are haling Brooks as if he was the Cecil B. DeMille of the magic world. He runs an online forum, where he and his goon squad staff get kickbacks in order to promote their newest products. Brooks is more like P. T. Barnum.

bagelsandlox

They look down again. Revenge for deleting posts about Brooks's Merlin award?

An older bartender Michael worked with sold and taught him how to use the TT. It was the start of Michael's magic career.

The fellow, now retired, is fighting cancer and Michael is helping me.

Finn Jon's roughing stick works wonders.

Justin Miller has been banned on the Magic Cafe. He went on some psycho raving about getting people because they exposed him as a liar ( he kept telling everyone he mailed them their dvd's and that they never got delivered on 3 different occasions. That darn P.O. stealing magicians dvd's. lol ). The...

Jennings '67 is an example of how to write a magic instruction book.

bagelsandlox

I have all of the L&L DVD's. I like to read novels. Magic books don't explain things very well. Ever read the Jennings book by Maxwell? POOR writing at best.

Does LORAYNE: THE CLASSIC COLLECTION, VOL. 2 come with a performance DVD? I like DVD's.

bagelsandlox

Is the Ramsay footage silent?

bagelsandlox

This is filler material. As such, it should be taught as a freebie in a magazine. Another exmaple of Magicins selling crap.
