I'm so glad to have witnessed Max's greatness and friendliness in person.
Rest in peace and strength for all his friends and family [emoji3590]

Probably hosted on a Dutch server.
Because of our lock down all restaurants, bars and cafes are shutdown [emoji4]

At least because our restaurant is closed as well, I've found time to get the Tamariz stack memorized.

I've decidedto put some books up for sale here at the forum first. I'm thinning out my 1500+ collection, because I'm not really active performing anymore. Also I'm listing the more expensive books, because the cheaper ones probably will be to expensive to ship internationally. All prices are in Euro...

After 47 years of studying magic and collecting some of the finest literature, it's time to let go of some of the titles that might be of interest to the new generation of magic. This is just a very small amount of the books I have, so maybe if you're looking for some older titles I might have them....

Herman Koster

Very sad news indeed. Had a great time with him in Rotterdam and when he was in Lance Burton's show. A true great magician!

Hi Craig, first of all, thank you very much for keeping us informed about FISM 2018. Reading your reports makes me really want to attend another FISM in 2021 in Quebec. About the awards: In Lisbon 2000, 1st place comedy wasn't rewarded to any act, Scott and Muriël were in that category, didn't win a...

Also I'll add some more Tenyo items. Happy bid...

Herman Koster

I hope so Richard. There will be more Tenyo items next week, after this auction ends. Just getting used to Ebay again. It's strange, but if I search for the items now, they don't show up. Even if I search by my username. ps. Thanks for the great convention last october. I had a blast. Great seeing s...

Arrived in the Netherlands today. Great we have daylight savings time, it will give me an extra hour before work

Herman Koster

Dear Richard,

can you please let me know if payment of my order came thru? Never received a confirmation email.

Best wishes,

Herman Koster

Today, April 1st I received the March issue. Margret already sent a replacement copy as well. I'd like to send it back, but she told me to give it to a friend, so maybe he would subscribe. Genii really has great service. In the future I'll wait saying that the copy hasn't arrived. Richard, how can I...

Herman Koster

My copy is sent by airmail, and I asked Margret last time, when my subscription would end, and that would be Feb 2011.

I'll just wait a couple of days before emailing the office and perhaps it is a good idea to switch to an opaque envelope.

Thanks for the advice!

Herman Koster

Still nothing here in The Netherlands, but it's still the month of March :) Richard, did you change the way Genii is delivered, because the January issue had to be replaced as well. I never had any delays with the magazine prior to the last three months. Can't wait to read the great articles again. ...

Herman Koster

Also not here in IJmuiden, The Netherlands yet. But it's still March :)

Herman Koster

I've just finished reading all these reviews and watching the clip from the believe site, but to me this just feels like the show I saw Siegfried and Roy do a long time ago. Good vs evil, giant monsters on stage, great effects and a great show. Also S&R had a great stage personality and wit, som...

Herman Koster

Wow. An incredible job. The forum looks great. It surely has a different feel to it. Thanks Richard and everyone responsible.

Herman Koster

It surely was a great article. The fun part is, that we only have to change the competitors names, and the article would describe the version being broadcast in The Netherlands, called: The next Uri Geller. The effects and everything are exactly the same as on the USA version (and I even believe, on...

Herman Koster

Arrived in Velserbroek, The Netherlands. Can't wait to read Genii again after not haven't subscribed for a while.

Herman Koster

Great to be back. I'm glad I renewed my subscription even before Richard announced the members only forum. wish I participated on Phenomenon :) Have fun everyone.

Herman Koster

In the John Fisher special History of Magic, I believe there is a short clip of someone performing this in an old Laurel and Hardy movie. Does anyone know who this performer was. It was the first time I ever saw this human fountain being performed. Only seen it in old drawings before that. ps. Hope ...

Herman Koster

Also there used to be a company in The Netherlands that was called Triks. It was run by Henk Vermeyden. I don't know if he stamped his items. The chute (or shute) looks a lot like one that was put out by Supreme magic of England. It was supplied with a brown leather wallet and two metal plates. The ...

Herman Koster

Hi David, I'm not really sure, because it was a long time ago I saw the item you mentioned, but I believe it used to be sold either by Tony Curtis from England, or Roy Roth. I think it predates the version sold by Tenyo (Crystal Cleaver) I don't know if Tony still sells magic, but maybe Stephen Tuck...

Herman Koster

Hello Jim, My friend Peter Vogel has acquired all the items that used to belong to Henk Vermeyden, the publisher of Triks. I believe he has all the copies of the magazine somewhere. His email address is: <a href="mailto:vogel@dutchmagic.nl">vogel@dutchmagic.nl</a> Just tell him H...

Herman Koster

Carlos,
I forgot to mention, but the Jan Monnikendam is closed on monday's, so maybe he contacted you by now.
Otherwise I will see how much the cars are and post the price here on the forum. I suppose they are about 125 or so euro's.
Best wishes,
Herman.

Herman Koster

I remember that when I started out in magic and didn't know anything about the names of gimmicks etc. I would always look at The amateur magician's handbook, and most of the time find the answers. And yes, for knowledge about magicians, Who's who in magic is very good. And of course, now for researc...

Herman Koster

Hi Carlos.
Try Jan Monnikendam in The Netherlands.
He still has a couple of Kars in stock.
