Re: Jason Ladanye
Interesting to me was that, in his Invisible Palm routine, he pushes the newly arriving ace to his left, rather than to the right, as in every other version of this effect I've seen. It looks really good as there is no 'sweeping' motion of his right hand over the packet. Small detail, but I love sma...

Re: Why Triumph Is A Great Routine..
I no longer use Daryl's display, as much as I like it. Check out Doug Conn's display in the book I wrote for him - it's quick, deceptive, and uses very little table space.

Re: Death of Ernest Earick
Really, really sad. Ernest didn't lecture much, but I am happy to say I was at two of his lectures - at the ONYX Convention and at "52". Both were outstanding. He had a touch with the pasteboards that I can only hope to emulate someday. RIP Ernie.

Tricks of my Trade, the magic of Doug Conn - available again
I have just received a second print run of the book I wrote a dozen years ago about Doug Conn's magic. The book has been out of print for quite some time and (in my biased opinion) it is a great one!
