Fism 2012 an opinion. I received my 150 book, which turned out to be another Derek Lever publication. I didnt see this advertised as such anywhere in advance, I knew I would receive a hardback book with 150 value, but assumed (as this was FISM, not Blackpool Magic) that this would be something of v...

In that case, please forgive my post. When the original poster said that he was ordering "one Origami Illusions (used)", I wrongly assumed that, since it was from Snap, it WAS Snap.

Since it was original, I would hire a hit man...

It's been on eBay for a long time. If he does sell it, he probably doesn't look like an "idiot" any longer. Problem is, I think Paris Hilton's fifteen minutes of fame is long gone...

Thanks for sharing that!

No one wanted John Grisham's A Time to Kill when he first tried to get it published. It eventually seemed to do pretty well, so never give up hope.

I am getting PM notifications from the Cafe, but I am not able to connect.

According to the seller, this one is #469 of 500. To my eye the cover appears green. I have seen copies that are black - are these the knockoffs? In addition to the original and the Al Mann knockoff, I also have a black, softbound version that is photocopied, one-side. As far as I know, these are t...

Update: Just found out Michael Caine is in this movie. That opens intersting possibilities for intercutting with the Batman films and The Prestige as well. Perhaps add a few clips from both versions of Sleuth and we've got something intersting. And "Blame it on Rio"... Or, maybe not... ;)

Donal, thank you for sharing that story. In the vast majority of the cases where I have asked magicians, illusion creators, etc. for advice and guidance, they have gone out of their ways to assist me. Some have sent me drawings; others have referred me to various references, some common and some obs...

I just found this thread, but it is interesting to see various posters' ideas of "taste". I love grits, black olives, pineapple sandwiches, and mayonnaise and banana on Ritz crackers. I loved "The Magic Show". I loved "A Chorus Line". I loved "Phantom". I love...

When I wanted to replace the remote, I contacted Terry Lunceford. He offered to do the work for me, but he also gave me the information so I could do it myself. It took a little cutting and scraping, but the finished product worked great.

I only met him once - a few years ago during a visit to Los Angeles. He took two of us on a tour of the shop, and acted like we were his long-lost friends. During all of this his eyes sparkled like those of a child on Christmas morning. I was hoping to visit with him again in April. He will be misse...

I became much more interested in history of all sorts when I realized that I had become part of it. When you are young, you and everyone you know will live forever. Once you realize this isn't the case, I think you begin to pay more attention to the things going on around you. In my lifetime I have ...

Chris's one-upsmanship and the prevalence of such things as sticking your hand into an animal trap and putting a nail gun against your head pretty much made me fast forward through those parts.

I guess I wouldn't make much of a judge... I really liked the Human Telephone Number routine.

Further to my previous post, if anyone can suggest an appropriate title, let me know. At present it is "A Layman's Guide to Bob Farmer".

All suggestions welcomed.

How about "A Farmer's Guide to Everything"?
