http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/replica-counterfeit.html You can only sell photocopies of original works. If you didn't create the work, you cannot sell xeroxes. See terms of service link above. Not allowed: "Media containing scanned pages from a book, magazine, manual, or other copyrighted...

"
Just because it is a photocopy does not make it an illegal item."

According to Ebay's terms of service, photocopies are not allowed to be sold on Ebay.

billmccloskey

The seller refuses to provide a refund. He claims that since he listed it as a "reprint", it was not deceptive. My position is that a xerox is not a reprint.

billmccloskey

My understanding is that authorized copies were still signed by Marlo and that it was printed on both sides, not just bad one sided xeroxes.

billmccloskey

So 2 weeks ago, I was able to snag an original Marlo Magazine #2, signed by Marlo and from Jay Marshall's estate. Yesterday I wasn't so lucky. Purchased Marlo Magazine #3 off of ebay. The listing claimed to be a reprint, but what I got instead was a binder with one sided xeroxed copies of the magazi...

"box with a trapdoor in the top,"

The reason you see the trapdoor is that she actually looks at her feet as she steps around it when she get on the box. She is clearly stepping around something when she gets on it, as if she is trying to avoid the trap door.

billmccloskey

Now that was slightly better than the last one.

All it needed was a singing ventriloquist.

"Both have made their mistakes and both deserve second chances" "Yes ,by now we are A L L aware that Char has made some HUGE Stumbles , This is bound to happen as a newly Single woman ." Man, you guys are crazy. :) First, no one "deserves" a second chance. I have a one ...

"So you guys own 100% of your juvenile and cruel comments dispensed with no other intent but to humiliate, embarrass, and disparage ... no karma involved." Well, I have no dog in this fight, don't know Charlotte or why she would be the recipient of any karmic retribution, and I have no pro...

That almost seemed like a SNL satire.

I'm sure this data is either not available or it has been discussed but it occurred to me while reading the 1902 ad for EATCT in the Sphinx that Erdnase was most likely a subscriber to The Sphinx. I wondered if anyone did a cross check on the old Sphinx subscriber list with the names of the usual su...

billmccloskey

Yeah. That is the one,Brad

billmccloskey

I would assume that since it was going to Jay Marshall that it was an original printing, assuming the signature is legit, and the date of the signature is just the next month after it was printed according to the the copyright. I'll assume it is legit unless someone tells me otherwise.

billmccloskey

I just picked up a copy of Marlo's Magazine #2 on ebay. I know there are fakes out there but it just arrived and it certain seams authentic. The paper quality seems from the period, not that I'm an expert, but it seems original. it is not numbered but it is signed by Ed Maro and inscribed to Jay Mar...

The suggestion not to unsubscribe from all spam is an outdated one. It might have had some legitimacy in their early 2000's but today there is little downside in unsubscribing. If the "spam" is delivered by any of the major Email Service Providers (ESP's) then you will be unsubscribed. Rea...

Jesus, TWO Damians? I wouldn't pay the goat any mind mr Surr, he is the self appointed police of the magic world. Without even seeing his posts (I have him blocked) I'm sure he has accused you of being some sort of scam artist.

billmccloskey

I'd be willing to sell my entire collection at once (which includes a number of the books you are looking for). I you are interested, contact me and I can discuss terms.

billmccloskey

Yes, sorry, The Amazing Race, not The Great Race.

billmccloskey

This is a "Thing" that is popular in some country. It was featured in a recent episode of The Great Race. The contestants all had to get ice cream from a vendor and ALL the vendors did this. It is a tourist attraction. It is not just this guy.

billmccloskey

Done. The air smells sweeter. Why anyone would feel it necessary to give us all a lecture on copyright theft because someone mentioned a show on the Discovery Channel is sooo far beyond me.

billmccloskey

Thanks Chris. I wasn't aware the forum had that feature.

billmccloskey

God, the Damian police are tiresome.

One of the main reasons I hardly stop by this forum.

Is that ALL you do: monitor this forum and reply all day?

Do what you want, but it seems such a waste of a life.

Show me the exit, please.

billmccloskey

I think that most lay people, when presented with a magic trick, are less concerned with how they did it, and more concerned with when it's going to be over.

billmccloskey

Wow. the insensitive bullying and level of immaturity is astounding. Honestly, makes me ill. I don't know how you get to the point where cruelty is so cavalierly and thoughtlessly dispensed. I'm quite sure some of you won't be satisfied until someone has done irrevocable damage to themselves. I gues...

"What is widely popular is very rarely 'good'." by your standards I assume. Things that are widely unpopular are rarely good as well. Performance has only one critical criteria as far as I'm concerned: popularity. If a lot of people like it, it is good (regardless of what you think of it)....

"My interest in this stunt and all of his other stunts is nil. I would definitely prefer to watch his regular magic." My interest in stage performers like Copperfield and Lance Burton is nil as well. But it doesn't prevent lots of people from seeing them. I'd rather watch close up. But I c...

"the question is clinical efficacy.' The question isn't clinical efficacy at all. Hypnotism wasn't introduced because it was more effective than standard anesthesiology, it was because is was SAFER. During the 50's and 60's the rate of anesthesialogical complications was quite high. The attempt...

billmccloskey

My guess on why you don't see more of this is that the risks of anesthesiology are not as great as they where back in the 50's and 60's. I'm not a doctor but that is my guess. The Mayo Clinic became famous because they used hypnotic induction with every patient and dramatically reduced the rate of p...

billmccloskey

For those interested I'd recommend the Handbook of Hypnotic Suggestions and Metaphors by Dr. Corydon Hammond. Many many citations and studies on pain management. I'd also recommend: Techniques of Hypnotic Pain Management: Dr. Josephy Barber, Ph.d Altering the Quality of Discomfort: Example of leg Pa...

billmccloskey

Hardly the odd book. Shows your ignorance.

billmccloskey

Jonathan, Hypnotherapy by Dave Elman is a good source to start if you are really interested in this subject. If you are looking for validation of Elman's techniques, there is more than enough evidence if you want to search it out. Personally, why would I care if you believe it or not? I don't. Belie...

" I'd like to see a peer reviewed, double blind, research paper published in a respected medical journal. But I cannot find one. It must be a cover up, or most doctors are idiots." Ha.. I can just imagine how much you've researched it. Believe what you want friend. It is not my job to educ...

billmccloskey

Quick search on the internet reveals many doctors using hypnosis for pain relief. I quick search on hypnothoughts.com have many current videos of doctors using hypnosis for pain relief and painless child birth. so I guess "the entire" medical community are not idiots. :)

billmccloskey

Damian, Do you have a medical degree? Are you speaking because you have done research in this area? While hardly an expert, I've been studying hypnosis for about 4 months now pretty intently. How do you know hypnosis is not being used currently? Are are you just talking through your hat. As for hypn...

billmccloskey

I don't know Damian. I do know that Dave Elman's work is well documented and there are many case studies of painless childbirth and surgery using hypnosis. As to why it isn't more widely used, I would assume it has to do with it not being taught in medical schools and without someone like Elman arou...
