That would be quite the undertaking. But all will be revealed soon.

Hi Scott, Thanks for reading the trick and sorry for the confusion. The write-up is correct, but I think I could have been clearer about how the selection is handled to clarify that the selection is actually switched along the way. After the selection is made, it is placed face down on the table sig...

I couldn't finesse the link just a few moments ago. First, "Genii Bash-ers" are welcomed; you sign in, and no further assistance to access the Moser link. It's nice to be logged-in to buy all the good stuff Josh and Andi have to offer, but could not find the free Moser Monte download. Tip...

Thanks everyone! We're really excited to be able to bring back this historic event. Richard: the hotel is approximately twelve minutes farther from the airport than the Genii Convention hotel is to Orlando airport. It's not a big treck and I'm confident that we'll have enough help out there to make ...

Andi

Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your nice comments with the Genii forum!

Hi Damian, Would you rather we did nothing and just allowed people to illegally download products that our customers have purchased? Or perhaps use DRM restrictions? You're the first to tell us that they feel "violated" by what we consider to be a great, customer-focused addition to downlo...

Andi

Thanks for mentioning Tom's download Richard! MrGoat: the download can be played online or downloaded in MOV format. The video isn't DRM protected, but we have developed a system that watermarks your name at the top corner of every frame of the download. It's a system that a lot of customers have pr...

Hi all, As part of Simon Aronson Week at Vanishing Inc. we're giving away a free Simon Aronson ebook of his lecture notes Memories Are Made of This. Some of you would have seen this ebook before, however I urge you to download this new version as it has a brand new layout (by yours truly) and some b...

Wow - thanks for your positive feedback everyone! It really means a lot to hear so many kind words.

There's been a little buzz over the internet about mine and Joshua Jay's joint project; Vanishing Inc. so I thought I'd take a moment to post a link here: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.vanishingincmagic.com">http://www.vanishingincmagic.com</a> The site features our initia...

This is very sad and unexpected news. Kevin was one of my favourite UK magicians to hang around with - his stories of Peter Kane and other Manchester magicians from that era were always a treat. Kevin was at The Session last weekend with his long-time friend Brian Glover and seemed in good shape, ma...

I won't for one minute pretend I know all of the credits that you are looking for, or in fact that I can do all of the moves. I am a Pass fanatic myself though so since I've got a spare few minutes, I've written up thes ones I do know. I'm not at home at the moment, so sorry some credits are vague -...

Over the past few years, Luke has kicked me where it hurts far too often with his material. Every single effect on this DVD absolutely fries laymen and magicians.

You've not lived until you've experienced his Red Hot Mamma.

However, I know of Fechter's effect, which is different from the one about which I was asking.

I noticed that as I re-read my post and edited it (just before you replied). I jumped ahead of myself on that one!

1. Where was Ed Marlo's handling of Charlie Miller's "A Novel Sleight", the cascade control, published? This originally appeared in The Magic Of Charles Earle Miller (1961). In Card Finesse II, Racherbaumer mentions that Miller shared it in a letter to Fawcett Ross in 1936. Edit: Sorry......

Originally posted by ZafMagic: Again, please excuse my ignorance: "behind the counter"? At a magic shop? A bar? Is this how Marlo earned his living before he started writing? It couldn't have really been said that Marlo earned his living as a writer. Quite often, Marlo would simply make n...

I just got mine and its a really nice collection of DVDs. Except of course for the spelling mistakes in Racherbaumer's first and last name on the back of the box set; "John Rocherbaumer." :D

Gazzo showed me a lot of his gambling material when I spent some time with him in Boston. It is absolutely amazing! You think you know how to handle a pack of cards and then Gazzo beats you to a pulp! Especially with his Monte. Make sure you see Gazzo's show if it comes to town! Especially if you've...

My buddy Liam Montier has several effects using mobile phones and has fooled me with each and every one of them. They're not published right now, but if you want some info David, drop me an e-mail and I'll put you in touch with him as I'm almost certain that he'll share. He's kind like that. --Andi ...

In the Linking Ring Parade that I compiled for the members of the Second Deal website, Nate Kranzo published a Sandwich effect based on the Ben Harris move where the card was placed into the front of the deck. I can't remember the date off hand, but believe it was around June/July 2001. After using ...

I MAY be able to help but don't have access to my Tucker books right now. If you e-mail me, it'll serve as a good reminder for me to check up for you.

As a happy purchaser of the Underground Change, I'd like to make a few comments. Firstly, I spoke to Allan about this a while back and he was more than happy to say that it was Jamie's idea and not the Curry centre that Matt Field and others insisted it was. Surely that should have set the whole deb...

Check out Walton's Sandwich effect - it really is a killer item!

Mine arrived earlier today and I can simply tell you this... GET THEM. I've only watched the performances so far, but they're by far the best magic videos/DVDs I've ever seen.

Originally posted by Joey Corpus: The Racherbaumer manuscript and the Wesley James description in Epilogue (both date from 1976) describe the sleight that way.

Originally posted by Pete McCabe: This aspect of showing each of the cards is critical to making the count look natural, but you see maybe one in a hundred magicians who does it. Some excellent advice there from Pete! I wrote an essay on the move a year or so ago and if anyone wants to take a look,...

I've performed 51 Faces North quite a few times now and it goes down excellently and is a really strong item. It takes some work masking the fact that its a mathematical "trick," but when fully covered it makes a really nice effect.
