Hi Bob

Will the addendum go out as snail mail as well? I'm patiently awaiting for it to arrive but it all sounds amazing, can't wait to get my hands on it!

Hi Chris,

That sounds really good, sent you a PM as I don't really want to get into method specifics in an open forum, hope that is ok.

Cheers.

Rich.

I would have one if you could 3D print them Chris, they need to hold two cards side by side, can you print in transparent acrylic and then brush or matte the front so it is not totally transparent?

Richard Morrell

Yes I'm sure you can find similar look for menu holders, the ones I have are black acrylic so don't need frosting, you could buy the transparent ones though and try and frost them. I don't think having them a solid colour loses anything it does the job and hides the necessary for a fantastic trick, ...

Ryan has managed to invoke a sense of nostalgia in me with this publication. In the days of one trick downloads, and ebooks, that you can purchase instantly, with nothing more than your Paypal password, it feels good to hold a physical product in your hand. Something that you know will contain good ...

Richard Morrell

I bought some of the stands below that are essentially Menu or Poster stands the type of thing you would see in restaurants to hold menus, work very well for the Aronson trick and other tricks I do that require the display of some cards, including Simon's Birthday Card trick. http://www.amazon.co.uk...

Hi Ryan, I love these smaller type magic books, your previous two have been great, I have the few that John Bannon put out as well in the run up to High Caliber, as you say it feels that gap and there is still nothing like holding a book in your hand! Very excited to receive my Ultramodern, and what...

Richard Morrell

Thanks for the mention Dustin, it certainly is an amazing achievement for Eddie. Sadly Paul Daniels was ill on the day but Martin Daniels stepped into his shoes and along with Andrew Green provided a brilliant Gala Show. Debbie McGee provided an after-dinner speech and posed for photos, and we had b...

As usual the ever efficient Margret has come to the rescue and it is all sorted, apparently due to some technical glitches my order wasn't processed, it has been and the book is on its way, look forward to reading it!

Richard Morrell

Richard, do you know how long these are taking to ship to the UK? I ordered mine 7 weeks ago (July 8th) and still not arrived, I appreciate it might be coming on the slow shipping option, but any idea how long is a reasonable time to wait? Just if it has gone missing, and you don't have many more bo...

Richard Morrell

Mine arrived in the UK this morning, but without a free monte trick :( It looks like another great edition though and I have to say being able to read it online before it arrives is fantastic.

Richard Morrell

September issue arrived for me here in the UK this morning, looks great... sadly I didn't get my August issue, so have just e-mailed the office for a replacement.

Anyway off to dig into this issue, looking forward to reading Jamy's article.

Rich.

If you watch Diggnation this week <a class="postlink" href="http://revision3.com/diggnation/iphone4">http://revision3.com/diggnation/iphone4</a> Kevin mentions it, apparently it was a house party in California, at the house of some Angel Investor that Kevin knows. He mentions in ...

Our regular mail copy came yesterday. Service seems pretty good this month so far. I'll be eager to hear from my subscribers in the UK when they receive it. (Their copies were actually mailed out a few days later because they had to be trucked en mass to the east coast before going in the post, but...

Richard Morrell

Just wanted to add my vote of thanks to those who have been reporting this week, wish I could have been there, this was the next best thing, having done FISM reporting in the past I know what a task it can be, so huge thanks to Craig, Richard, Tim, Peter, Andy, Andrew and anyone else who has been in...

Hi Richard, It seems to be working, my June issue arrived here in the UK this morning under the plain envelope scheme. I also got replacements for March and April under a plain envelope, the only one I am missing now is May which I presume went out in the usual way, have contacted Margret for a repl...

Attendees of the Session Convention back in January got chance to see Ben perform some of this material, someone commented to me that it was like seeing Lennart Green for the first time, you really can't believe what you are seeing, almost like being a layman again, what a great feeling. In Ben's ha...

Richard Morrell

I renewed my sub back in November last year, I got my last issue which was January but then never recieved February on my new subscription, Margret was as ever helpful and assured me I was on the February distribution list and sent me a replacement in an opaque envelope which I recieved, however I h...

Richard Morrell

Anyone in the UK got their June issue? Still waiting on mine, usually arrives pretty quickly via airmail, I see it got to Germany end of May.

Hi Guys, JFYI... Anyone else here on Friendfeed? In case you don't know, Friendfeed is a new social site made by ex-google employees, you can see an introduction and explanation on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friendfeed Recently they have implemented a Rooms function: http://blog.friendf...

Richard Morrell

Yeah so tough you can't even find time to update your subscribers who have paid you good money to do a job. I am still two issues short of my subscription, I suppose I could e-mail them but I shouldn't have to do the chasing, if there is going to be a delay of any kind it should be upto them to info...

Richard Morrell

Sounds similar to what he did at the end of his lecture at FISM 2003, I got to be his lighting guy, ok I turned the lights off when he nodded at me, but still! He showed some great clips and talked about his life then finished by inviting six people onstage with their packs of cards. He then ran thr...

If you want an unusual approach and what is an excellent handling check out Jack Parkers The Three Stooges which appeared in Genii and also is in 52 Memories. I was one of the 'Stooges' when Jack showed this at The Session and smoked me and a room full of magicians, its a great hands-off handling th...

Richard Morrell

Wow certainly another blow to FISM, was looking forward to going to Sofia as well how did they let it get this far though, you would think they could find the finances and organisers, they manage to organise the world championship, a little convention like that shouldn't prove an issue :( Still savi...

There certainly seems to be UBB Classic converter scripts for PHPBB and vBulletin two of the more major PHP boards: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.phpbb.com/downloads.php">http://www.phpbb.com/downloads.php</a> <a class="postlink" href="http://www.vbulletin.com/do...

Thanks Clay for your kind words Arthur will indeed be sadly missed. Arthur was of course a close friend of Eddie Dawes and they shared a passion for magical history. Knowing Eddies (and Arthurs) concern for historical accuracy, I should correct the date of Arthurs passing, which was given to me in e...

Sorry to report the sad news that Arthur Setterington died on Thursday 26th January 2006 age 81. Arthur was a warm, generous magician who will be sadly missed by his many friends and correspondents throughout the world. He was a prolific magical inventor, writer and performer. A MIMC and recipient o...

Richard Morrell

Same as Ian August and September arrived here this morning postmarked Sweden... off to do some quiet reading :)

Richard Morrell

George,

Do you know if he has a tour schedule?

Richard Morrell

Bob's system is fantastic and I have marked a few decks with it and will continue to use it, but I think the Boris Wild system gives you one distinct advantage, that you only have to spread very little to see the markings rather that right upto the first flower on the design, so you can read them fr...

I guess I was one of the lucky ones who actually has a working e-mail address and had e-mail updates from Steve right from the start, I don't want to take sides but thought I would re-dress the balance and correct a few mistruths, for people to flat out say that no e-mail was sent warning you of the...

Nope not here either, direct airmail subscription.

Not here either, but usually when I say that it turns up!
