Re: Dana Daniels Ill
I hosted Dana way back in 2005 for a performance in my community. He did a great job and was an absolute joy to work with. Funny as can be! My thoughts and prayers go out for him and Jayne.

You may have not heard of Ron, but he was a member of the IBM and FCM. IBM Ring 219 is named the Bob Hurt/Ron London Ring. Ron was a founding member, and his name was added in 2014, prior to his death. Here is the link to a very unique 5-minute long YouTube video, It is unique in that in it you will...

Re: NPH blows the Oscar audience away with a mental effect
I wonder if a mentalist was consulted about the wisdom of using this effect? I doubt it, as I think that most would have predicted that a prediction at the Oscars would be a fail.

SPOILER ALERT! I just watched tonight's episode. The understanding of the methodology was a needed aspect of how they moved through the story, but they may have been able to pursue a different path if they had thought that exposure is "wrong.".

Re: NPH exposes thin sawing
Thank you for the response, Max. I look forward to hearing more about it all. I believe the segment in question could have been portrayed without the exposure. It was a flashback to "The Masked Magician."

I agree with Jonathan. So the exposure goes "unnoticed" by the The Academy of Magical Arts, Inc., and the greater magic community in general? From looking at the Academy website I see that NPH is no longer President as I believe he was in 2012 . If he hasn't already, maybe Max Maven can sp...

Penn & Teller's performance on The Late Late Show
I saw Penn & Teller on this morning's The Late Late Show with Drew Carey. From what I can tell they did the card trick, "Cheek to Cheek." I was surprised that they used such an old marketed trick, one I've used for over 25 years I believe, but they had a really awesome presentation. Te...
