Maybe you should stick to the Svengali deck.

I heard the reason it’s taking so long to migrate servers is that the only copy of the database exists on thirteen thousand floppy disks.

Cyanide tablet, for when the magician keeps showing you card tricks.

He had a brief cameo on Nick Lewin's Billy McComb tribute stream which was recorded a few months ago.

John Carlson was a NY police officer. Also Glenn Hester who I believe has a show about scams etc. you can find both on Facebook.

MickNZ

No it hasn’t been available for decades.

MickNZ

He shares the story on his Methods Behind the Madness set, if anyone missed it.

MickNZ

Yes it was well done.

MickNZ

Are you funny when not doing magic?

Also contributed voice acting to the game Batman Arkham Asylum which is one of the best games of all time.

Wasn’t there talk of the shop remaining open, Scott and someone else? Maybe that fell through.

MickNZ

That’s not in his MagicPedia entry, perhaps someone can add it, it’s a big deal.

MickNZ

Did he ever receive any kind of recognition from the AMA for his contribution to literature and media?

The Stevens Magic Library tape (which is now on DVD) is a good investment. Don had a real star quality about him, much like Harry Lorayne. You knew the guy was a start before he even did a trick. Also some vintage clips from The Magic Palace available.

Great resource, thanks.

Interesting point. To perhaps shed a slightly different light on this: to view all of the P & T Master Class lessons, it will cost $180. Anyone who is willing to pay that price is probably really interested in magic. I seem to recall that the so-called P & T "exposures" that made ...

... wasn't the exact same prop on Doc Eason's "After All These Years" DVD?

MickNZ

And here it is from the 1980s.

I haven't seen it, but I think a similar thing with gloves is on one of Harlans Pack Small Play Big DVDs. With coloured gloves from memory, it's mathematical.

MickNZ

Don't look directly into the trap.

MickNZ

Good stuff Scott, thanks.

When I was a kid I dressed a set for a home video shoot based on a set from a Mumford bit on Sesame Street.

Thanks Brendan. There were also a couple of online-only clips on the Oprah site, he performed a booktest. They're watchable only in the US, unless you use a proxy. Anyone else surprised that he didn't actually do any magic with Oprah in the broadcast version? On the Oprah show proper in the 90s he d...

FF with Download Helper addon will do it with one click.

Also works great for auotmatically archiving online magic conferences before the DVDs are replicated :-)

You're worrying about nothing. You're a professional, just as an electrician or any other service provider is. Do you think they finish a job and then feel awkward when they're getting paid and feel like they can't open an envelope to double-check the correct money is there? Don't be afraid to break...

Every deck of Mandolin backs I've purchased for the past year or so has had an advertising card included for business cards printed on Bicycle stock, maybe that's what you're thinking of?

MickNZ

Those links only work in the US, hopefully the clips will show up elsewhere eventually.

MickNZ

Very entertaining, thanks for posting.
