Derek DelGaudio interviews Frank Oz
At the recent EG conference, Derek DelGaudio interviewed Frank Oz on his unique and inspiring creative process. Watching this is easily the most inspiring 30 minutes I’ve spent doing anything in the last few weeks. There’s remarkable insight here into the creative process of someone who has touched ...

Re: The Classic Pass...
Hi "Funkytek", I have good and bad news for you. First, the good: You have identified something in other magician's work on the pass that you don't like, and therefore will work to eliminate in your own work on the move. Believe it or not, many new magicians never reach this point. Congrat...

Rich's online presence is actually pretty impressive. He's the first hit on Google when you search for his name. The info isn't for his magic, rather his wedding ministry.

Re: Late Show David Letterman Presents Close-Up Magic Week!
I'm sure Jason is a wonderful person, and I know that Letterman was a less-than-ideal audience for his magic, but he just didn't seem prepared. His handling (of both the cards and Letterman) was universally awkward.

So, had I actually read the entire thread instead of just the last few entries, I surely would have seen Dustin's note about the initial print count. To say that I skimmed the thread before posting would be an insult to actual thread skimmers.

Re: Magic 1400s-1950s
I saw at least 2 copies on the shelf at the Taschen store at The Grove this evening. It would be pretty amazing if it is truly out of print. I believe the initial printing was approx. 9000 copies.

Re: MAGIC-CON 2010 Special Guest of Honor
Ok, Derek's video aside, I think all signs point to Tamariz. Paul Wilson practically "spells it out" for us, and Max's video has a nice little background reference to a Spanish artist.
Of course, I could be wrong:)
