Re: Help with original Nemo 1500
Paul Vigil had the wallets custom made to John’s exact specifications, and they are stunning. There was a limited run of 40, and 25 were made available. These were only offered through Paul’s private Facebook magic group. If there is enough interest, there may be a second run. Those who are interest...

Bruce Cervon Video Notes
I'm fortunate enough to be helping out with a project that I know many would be interested in, so I thought I'd mention it here. As most of you know, after years of taking his notes in written form, Bruce Cervon switched to recording his notes on video, and a project is currently underway to transcr...

Re: Charlie Miller Bio?
The material that Charlie Miller published, along with the material contained in the Csuri transcripts, is a very small fraction of his body of work. The majority of it was not written anywhere but was passed on to a few people.

Re: Dribble Pass
That's really nice David! The dribble pass that's being claimed to be done in the video (the Fishman Dribble Pass) is a block pass, similar to the Shields Dribble Block Pass, and, in my opinion, an inferior version of the unpublished Conover pass that I showed you last time I saw you. So that's one ...

Or a side steal for that matter, as he claims to be doing on the last one. Thanks for your interest in my work and for being so fooled by dribble pass. Patrick, the only rea...

Re: Dribble Pass
Patrick,
So you're saying that one of the 'shifts' in the video was a top and bottom retention dribble block pass?
You turned the top card face up at one point (which doesn't prove anything) why not just put a card face up in the middle and have it come straight to the top?

Re: Christ's Four Ace trick.
The H.C. Aces in Epilogue was also apparently the original handling, but neither that nor the one in the Chronicles is Christ's original exact handling.

Re: Christ's Four Ace trick.
Richard I'm guessing one of the routines you're referring to is H.C. Aces from Epilogue, do you remember where the other one is published?
H.C Aces is closer to Christ's original than the one in the Cliff Green book is, but I'd be interested to read the other one that Fulves published.
