The Genii Forum

I read on another forum that Rachel Colombini was at Blackpool. Supposed to have talked to Paul Gordon. Even had a photo of them together. I saw her name in Dustin's list of those who passed in 2017.

Anyone know what's going on

Is there a video of "A Selected Card and a Thought of Card" from Dani's column in the July issue?

The magazine (page 31) has a watch button but the on-line version doesn't.

Does anyone know where Arthur Emerson of Emerson & West is presently living?

Emerson & Larry West were the marketers of "Color Monte."

Just finished Mr. Greenbaum's first article "Surprise" in the May Genii--a superlative article on the common ground between magic and comedy. The surprise factor is the key.The article was also enjoyable because of the humor integral to the article. After watching magicians like Hobson, Sa...

Thanks for all your inputs. I now have a better understanding of how this works.

I was reading the thread on Cris Angel leaving "Believe" and it occurred to me that the most puzzling thing about him is the show "Believe." I know the various on-line newspaper reviews on "Believe" have been mixed. I looked at Yelp and the show has a 1.5 star (out of 5...

Anyone know if Al Flosso's Egg Bag routine has been documented anywhere?
Almost every internet item on Al describes the Miser's Dream.

Does anyone know what happened to the MoI shows that were on CW? I read that they made 13 episodes but only 6 or 7 aired. Hasn't been on the last 3 weeks.

Jonathan's column has become my favorite of the four magazines I subscribe to. The articles are articulate and informative. The latest article "Parameters" gives strong insight into the roles of the box, theater, and conditioning for the stage illusionist. It's especially enlightening to s...

Just read Al Cohen's column in the December issue.I never realized how much involvement there is in getting suppliers for effects that become the shop's best sellers.And that story about the woodworker sending three huge boxes of junk was hilarious. Another fascinating insight into the world of bric...

I do believe that newspapers and news orientated mags like "Time" will be under intense pressure to survive. This is because most people only read one or two paragraphs of the on-line news. To sit and try reading significant amounts of text on-line off a screen is uncomfortable and hard on...

Arnie Fuoco

That's the correct e-mail address. I don't think he checks his emails often. I ordered Bertini's Coin DVD from him and it took 3 months to get it. My emails about the status went unanswered.

Maybe someone on the forum knows him personally and can help you.

Arnie Fuoco

I agree Kent. I just sent him an order for some effects I have been delaying on. I purchased one of his floating tables with the anti-gravity box two years ago and it is my favorite effect. As Darren Romeo says "Dirk's Floating Table reminds me of why I became a magician, why we do magic."...

Tony,

There is a thread on this over at the Cafe. Reviews seem to be favorable.

A different kind of magic--thanks Alan

Arnie Fuoco

I agree with Renee--none of this Enquirer stuff is important or interesting. What has it got to do with the art of Magic?

Arnie Fuoco

I'll second Bill Wells take on the "Phoenix Aces". Don't know where Richard has the time to keep this effect competitive. I also liked the Krenzel Gun trick. From the Q&A session, I learned a lot about the details of publishing a magazine and also about producing a worthwhile magic DVD...

Thanks Terry

So it looks like (at least in KY) anyone who applies for a permit with the blessing of all next of kin. But "next of kin" is such a broad category, it makes one wonder what a legal definition of this would be.

Arnie Fuoco

I realize this is nothing more than a publicity stunt but it does beg the question as to who has the authority to exhume the body--a state or county prosecutor, a relative, an executor, some combination of law enforcement and estate people?? Anyone know enough about this type of law to answer this q...

Yes a transformer fire in 2004 with toxic PCBs.

He is a talented guy and the few times I met him very friendly. This bad incident may be the straw that puts him back on track--I hope. Would be a shame to lose his talent.

Then I guess I am not understanding what Tom wrote earlier:

That's also my problem such that I asked for a clarification on earlier. From Tom's explanation it is not clear whether the spectator tells Marc Paul the number he is thinking of, before the show.

Arnie Fuoco

Tom,

In your explanation do McCutcheon and Parkinson inform Paul what card and number they will say when the show is on? If they do, then they shouldn't be impressed at all. What do you think?

Arnie Fuoco

It might "almost force" you to think that, but you'd be wrong. Both Richard and I have been on the receiving end of the trick done by David Berglas himself, and believe me, it is a shocker! Matt, Not questioning Berglas performing it since I haven't been fortunate to see it. But in this o...

Arnie Fuoco

It almost forces one to think that the person who calls out the number is in on it.

Arnie Fuoco

Gardini,

Autobahn is another good variation on the ACAAN but is really not "ANY Card at ANY Number" but "ANY Card at Selected number."

Arnie Fuoco

It seems that the Cafe is right on the edge of their computer/network resources. They now limit you to one search per some unknown time period (can't figure out what the period is). I think Steve's effort is in the right place per the recent magazine article. Hope he can keep it running with the gor...

Arnie Fuoco

While recommending that the Berglas ACAAN is the best may be correct, reading his book to master it may not be practical. Not because it isn't there but because it will probably cost you over $400.The latest sale on ebay just last week went for over $400.

Copperfield in his 1982 Special did the torn and restored cigarette paper using a small pink heart paper instead of cigarette paper. This is basically Martin Lewis' "Undivided." DC brought up a 7 year old girl on stage and weaved a story about having his heart broken because his girl frien...

The only really interesting thing about it is that there are no bidders!

It seems probable this is a scam. The seller from Fargo ND has no rating with all zeros on the feedback chart. I think even neophytes would fear to tread here especially with a staring cost of $90.

It seems a little odd to me! It does to me also. I just saw David perform this exact effect about 6 months ago. The strange thing is that the ebay ad says that the performance rights are included. Also, anything connected with the licence plates are not included. I wonder if there will be a follow ...

Arnie Fuoco

There is no specific answer I want to hear, apart from what 'insiders' think is the reason for so few posting at THIS forum?? I feel the main reason is that there are lots of posts on the Magic Cafe that wouldn't get far on the Genii forum. These fall mostly in the category of product discussions w...
