Wow...I never had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Latta perform. After reading this poignant tribute, I now know I missed one of the great ones.

Not to mention the fact that Aaron is one of the nicest guys in magic. Congrats on a great new column making the greatest magic magazine even better!!!

I saw Chris Capehart perform last night in the Parlour. He was on fire!!! He performed Losander's floating table and Losander was sitting in the audience. It looked friggin' amazing. He got actress Neve Campbell up to help him and was a riot with her. Honestly, I don't think he had a clue who she wa...

Glen Guldbeck

Thanks for the news Mats!! I can't get enough of Mr. Giobbi's insight...

Glen Guldbeck

Hi Richard, Thanks for a great offer. Just signed up for two years a few minutes ago. Picked up the Ramsay issue yesterday at Magic Apple in CA and thought to myself "why the he** did I let my subscription lapse a few years ago???". Your comments in "Genii Speaks" worked...lol. A...

Glen Guldbeck

Hello Richard, I'm currently re-reading Jennings '67 and was curious as to what the status of the other two books in the trilogy was? Earl Nelson absolutely fried me with "Search and Stop" a few months back and as a result, I'm re-reading the entire book. Thanks for this timeless work and ...

Glen Guldbeck

I've enjoyed performing "Gypsy Curse" over the years...Derek Dingle's routine in particular.

Hello Steven, I signed up for Cogitations a couple of weeks ago. After signing up, I realized that my old e-mail address was on my PayPal account. You probably sent me a password to that one. My new e-mail address is <a href="mailto:gguldbeck@adi-dist.com">gguldbeck@adi-dist.com</a><!-- e ...

I was in the Castle library last night and watched the footage of Fred Kaps performing for Brother John Hamman. WOW!!! Brother John's reaction to the Floating Cork was classic. He looked pretty dumbfounded. Kaps then went on to perform a short-change routine, the card in box, and his amazing cups an...

Yes Ernest! What Matt said.

Earlier last year I was in Houston on business for a couple of days. Unfortunately, my work seminar ran late and I thought I'd miss my opportunity to visit H&R. Richard, gentleman that he is, actually kept the shop open for me. Talk about feeling like a five-year old walking into FAO's for the f...

Mr. Racherbaumer, I'll look forward to the DVD. Out of curiosity, the Prime Time Marlo video sleeve includes the "wrist turn pass". Is it indeed in the tape and I simply missed it? I love that pass and would enjoy seeing Marlo execute it(or not as is probably the case). Thanks again, Glen

Glen Guldbeck

Mr. Racherbaumer,

I just purchased Prime Time Marlo at Aladdin Books in CA last Thursday. Watched it yesterday for the first time. What a great tape. Plan on watching it this evening as well. Thank you for a wonderful record of such an icon.

Glen Guldbeck

Please see Michael Close!! It will be worth the entire trip. I had the pleasure of seeing Michael perform for the first time last Wednesday night. I had three co-workers with me (laymen). They talked about him for two days. An utterly charming and mystifying performance. It was certainly the highlig...

Glen Guldbeck

I met a gentleman a few weeks ago at the Castle swapmeet you lives in the UK. He was telling me about Sadowitz' one man close-up show he is currently performing in London. Sounded like a very formal setting with intermissions, special lighting, tiered seating, etc. He told me that Sadowitz abosolute...

Richard,

What a gross misunderstanding! Thank you Jeffyz for eloquently stating what I was attempting to write. Richard...the Hamman book is amazing. I meant no offense to your work.

Please re-read Jeffyz post.

Glen

Glen Guldbeck

Thanks so much Geno! I just recently purchased a used copy of Hamman's book. What a goldmine! The thought of seeing him perform and explain his routines will turn his book into the ultimate set of lecture notes. I can't wait.

I spent some time with Bill Goodwin at the Castle last week and he told me that Roy Walton does the move beautifully. Nothing cramped or awkward to see. Just placing the upper half on to the lower half of the deck.

Glen Guldbeck

Thank you both for the references. I really appreciate it!

Glen

Glen Guldbeck

Hello all!

Can someone out there point me to a written description of the Ovette Master move aka Kelly bottom placement?

Thank you in advance.

Glen

Glen Guldbeck

Received mine today (4/17) in Chatsworth, CA. Just keeps getting better and better!!! Thanks Richard.

Glen Guldbeck

Hi all,

Richard...just picked up a copy of Bob Read's "Thanks to Pepys..." at the Castle swapmeeet last weekend. What a find! Can't wait until it appears in the mag.

About a year ago, Joel Bauer was in Hollywood Magic showing everyone in the shop how to do the "boomerang" rubberband. It's pretty damn impressive. I don't recall the size rubberband he was using, but it returned some thirty feet and all were blown away!! He apparently uses it quite freque...

Glen Guldbeck

Thanks Pete!

Thanks Pete!

Glen Guldbeck

Hello Pete, It was great meeting you as well. I love that count. Played with it when I got home and this morning as well. You're right, the key is being really loose and tension free. I'm finding I don't even really need to bring the card to the left as I'm displaying the third card shown. Thanks so...

Glen Guldbeck

Thank you Peter. I was not familiar with his expanded release. I'll look it up and check the Castle library as well. Brad, thanks for the info. I'm in San Diego in two weeks. I would love to see that footage. I'll buy you a Carl's Jr. Famous Star (with cheese...that's how much I want to see Kaps). G...

Glen Guldbeck

Richard,

I just subscribed last week. Love the magazine. Keep up the great work.

Anthony,

I looked up the Fechter book regarding a "Homing Card" routine. Couldn't find it. Is there a different Mentzer book on Fechter's magic other than "Magician Nitely"?

Glen

Glen Guldbeck

Hello Pete, Was talking to Gordon Bean last night at the Castle. The subject of Homing Card came up and he raved about Bob Sheets routine as well. I can't agree more with you regarding your ability to act surprised with each reappearance of the ace. I feel that your ability to be as perplexed (if no...

Glen Guldbeck

Sam, Sorry it took me so long to reply. Earl Nelson and Mike Caveney are re-publishing "Variations" and Simon's book "Versatile Card Magic". Earl is also releasing a DVD of "moves" from the Simon book. According to Earl, both books are identical in terms of layout, size...

Glen Guldbeck

Great thread GetJet!! I regularly perform six effects from Earl Nelson's "Variations". 1. Reset, Reset 2. Between You Points of Departure 3. Pass The Sandwich 4. Sleeve Aces 5. Clifton's Ring Move 6. Earl's Ring Move So much great material! The other effect that I've seen performed, but ha...

Hell Jim,

Check out "Slow Motion Coin Vanish" on page 155 of "The Complete Works of Derek Dingle". Wonderful handling I use all the time for an impromtu routine.

Enjoy!

Glen

Glen Guldbeck

Thank you Brad. I will check out the video.

Glen

Glen Guldbeck

Thanks John and Mike, I've heard about the DeCamps routine. I'll check it out. Thanks for the tip on the harness ring. I have a ring from a small set of linking rings. The "weld" spot bothers me. Even if a spectator examines it, it wouldn't surprise me that they would somehow associate the...

Glen Guldbeck

Thanks so much Curtis!! I love this forum!!!!!

Glen Guldbeck

Hello Curtis, Thanks for the reply. I apologize for the lack of clarification regarding ring size. I am referring to a larger ring. Williamson's second video is hard to come by from what I understand. I'll check it out at the Castle library. Do you know where Flip's material is print? Thank you Curt...

Glen Guldbeck

Hello Brad,

Where is the Carl Cloutier routine? It wasn't listed on his sleeving vid. Wasn't sure if he has lecture notes out there or not. Thanks in advance.

Glen

Glen Guldbeck

Hello Mike,

Thanks for the lead on Wilmarth. This morning I stumbled across a routine in Peter Samuelson's book as well. I appreciate the feedback.

Happy holidays!

Glen

Glen Guldbeck

Hey Gene,

Thanks for the info. I'll check both routines out at the Castle. How's the golf game?
