Hi Folks.... Among a number of ventriloquism-related items listed on eBay this week, I also have a few magic items, including an original Rings 'n' Things Comedy Passe Bottle set, an original Abbott's Topsy Turvy Bottle set and a *large* lot of sound control equipment (all new, including two differe...

Very cool. And maybe it's just me, but it appears to me that someone is clearly a fan of Spike Jonze's music video of "Weapon of Choice" by Fatboy Slim (featuring Christopher Walken dancing - and *actually* flying - through the L.A. Live Hotel)...? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQ7z57qrZU8

I only met Flaco a couple of times, but he was a great guy....very friendly. Once when I was visiting Tannen's he made me get behind the counter and do a card trick for him. He acted like whatever it was I'd done - something simple, I'm sure - was the greatest thing he'd ever seen. He called over th...

I didn't say I'd sold *or* bought catalogs for that much... I said I'd *seen* them sell for that much. Magic catalogs are like any collectible...they're worth what someone is willing to pay for them. Some will no doubt pay more for a catalog than you would (thus, more than you think it's "worth...

Tom Ladshaw

I'd think Ian Adair would be somewhere near the top, also. 250+ books and booklets, hundreds of magazine articles, etc.

The early hardcover Tannen catalogs usually sell for considerably more money than the softcover editions. I've seen the Tannen #1 in softcover (VF condition) sell for as much as $50.00 - $60.00. I've seen the hardcover edition (also in VF condition) go in the $100.00 range. Tom Ladshaw Covington, KY

FOR SALE: MINIMAX by Edo (Germany). I used this particular unit at a recent convention as my demo model. It's been used...but not much (8-10 demonstrations, maybe?).

*Please* say it ain't so...?

Hi Folks.... I recently acquired one of the Ricki Dunn/Paul Romhany "Drink Trick" outfits in a small collection. It appears brand new and unused. Here's the ad copy from Paul Romhany (the manufacturer): Many professional magicians consider this routine to be one of the funniest bits of bus...

he then decided to create a head for the box, skillfully crafted by Les Insul. Just for the sake of future historians.... that was "Len Insull", nee "Leonard Hinsle". The loss of Ray Alan Whyberd is tremendous...he was definitely one of the very best ventriloquists. Ever. Tom La...

Don't remember which comedian originally said it, but it went something like this:

"The only reason they put Kenny G's records in the 'Jazz' section is because there's no 'Crap' section."

Sorry...the infamous "guy on the right" is definitely *not* Edgar Bergen. Bergen was much shorter (more Sid Lorraine's height) and at that period would never have been seen in public - much less allowed himself to be photographed - without his hairpiece. He does look familiar, though.....

First of all, let me just say that I met Ray Witkowski for the first time in Canton, OH at the International Battle of Magicians a month or two back. His props and craftsmanship were absolutely outstanding. Tabman picked the right guy to carry on his work. Now....RUN, don't walk, to get Tabby's book...
