MARCH GENII ON ITS WAY TO YOU!

Richard Kaufman · Postby **Richard Kaufman** » February 5th, 2003, 8:58 pm

The March issue of Genii snuck out a few days early and went in the mail yesterday, Tuesday the 4th of February.
Ross Bertram is on the cover, the subject of a spectacular and long feature written entirely by David Ben. In addition to a great biography, there are many many tricks explained (with over 200 line drawings!) with all kinds of props. Really devious stuff.
Let me know when you get it AND what you think!

Dang it, you are messin' with my years old schedule. I'm use to the Oct. issue coming in around now but I have to go to the shop and see if I can score a Jan issue and Feb too! This is too much pressure, I may have to subscribe.

Wow. I used to get both magazines within days of each other. Then you started getting earlier, and Magic gets later. I just got Magic yesterday, and now I'm already getting next months Genii? This is awesome! If this keeps up, eventually you'll be two months ahead.

Whoever does the printing now for Genii does a really great job. Very slick.

I am extremely happy with Genii. The magazine not only is a very informative read, but the look is getting better and better with every issue.

Now I don't have this issue yet, but I am willing to bet that it's going to be great.

David.

I can't wait for this one. I asked about a Ross Bertram feature a long time ago and now it's a reality!

One day I've got to meet David Ben.

...Please, Mr. Postman, look and see, if there's a Genii in your bag for me...

Glen:

Nice to meet you at the Castle last night. How's the countback thing going?

Pete

Glen Guldbeck · Postby **Glen Guldbeck** » February 6th, 2003, 12:33 pm

Hello Pete,

It was great meeting you as well. I love that count. Played with it when I got home and this morning as well. You're right, the key is being really loose and tension free. I'm finding I don't even really need to bring the card to the left as I'm displaying the third card shown.

Thanks so much. I'll show it to you when I see you again for your feedback.

Glen

I second the comments about the quality and timeliness of Genii. I've renewed the sub for yet another year as it just keeps getting better.

More power to your arm Richard.

Matthew Field · Postby **Matthew Field** » February 7th, 2003, 9:47 am

CAZART!!!

The March Genii is a book on the magic of Ross Bertram, with hundreds of illustrations!

Can't wait to get into this.

A nice video review column, too.

Not everyone is happy. I think I hurt myself lifting it out of the mailbox.

Ross Bertam issue here in fine order. (Was my ad supposed to be in this one?)

Richard Kaufman · Postby **Richard Kaufman** » February 10th, 2003, 8:38 pm

Pete's ad will appear in our April issue.
Pete! How's that! Not only will they see your ad, but they know in advance that it's coming.

Richard, all I can say is...wow!

Please convey my thanks and compliments to David Ben.

Got mine yesterday.Another great issue. Thanks.

Tommy Brown · Postby **Tommy Brown** » February 11th, 2003, 8:25 am

Just got my March issue today. Thanks Richard. It looks great.

Guest · Postby **Guest** » February 11th, 2003, 8:31 am

Hi,
Received in Philly on Monday (2/10). Great looking issue, briefly glances through it.
Excellent cover, by the way. It really jumps out at you and screams magic (the art, not the competitor). Whoever designs Genii deserves 2 thumbs up for the excellent quality put forth with each new issue.

Guest · Postby **Guest** » February 11th, 2003, 9:03 am

My copy arrived in Seattle yesterday (2/10). What an impressive issue! While the quality of Genii is always sky-high, this is one of the jewels, right up there with the Mike Skinner issue. The wealth of magical knowledge David Ben has given us is staggering, and will take much more than this short month to fully understand. Many thanks to all involved.

Thanks Richard... this gives folks a chance to save up their money to respond to my ad!!! :D

Steve Bryant · Postby **Steve Bryant** » February 11th, 2003, 11:38 am

The March issue arrived in Indiana yesterday. Huge congratulations to David Ben: this is truly a book within a magazine.

Hey. Where is April? What's the holdup?

Brian Marks · Postby **Brian Marks** » February 11th, 2003, 3:27 pm

just arrived today, 2/11 in NY. I have been waiting for thisissue since July whentold about it at the SAM convenion

Richard Kaufman · Postby **Richard Kaufman** » February 11th, 2003, 4:03 pm

My wife, Liz, is the art director for Genii. She designs it and lays it out. So, if you think that Genii looks great, it's her doing!

Dave Shepherd · Postby **Dave Shepherd** » February 11th, 2003, 5:13 pm

Hey! Whazzup?!? Did David Acer have all of this month's Northern Virginia mail diverted to Montreal or something?

I haven't gotten it yet in Vienna, VA (a mere 15 miles west of the Chief Genii himself).

Richard Kaufman · Postby **Richard Kaufman** » February 11th, 2003, 6:46 pm

Hey, gimme a break! :) It's not even the middle of February yet and we're talking about the MARCH issue.

Bill Mullins · Postby **Bill Mullins** » February 11th, 2003, 9:28 pm

Arrived in Huntsville, AL today. Wow, what a great issue.

Pete McCabe · Postby **Pete McCabe** » February 12th, 2003, 4:59 pm

I just got the August 2006 Genii, with a great cover story about me and how great I am.

However I am still waiting for the March 2003 issue.

Guest · Postby **Guest** » February 12th, 2003, 6:32 pm

Hat off to all who put the March issue of Genii together. It is by far the best issue yet. The cover colors startled me at first but it's crammed with great stuff AND way ahead of schedule. Keep up the good work!

Dave Shepherd · Postby **Dave Shepherd** » February 12th, 2003, 7:05 pm

Okay, David Acer must have released the Washington area mail. I got mine today.

Wow! Overwhelming!

I actually like the brightly colored cover a lot.

And yes, Richard, I must admit that it's not even mid-February yet. Thanks!

Guest · Postby **Guest** » February 13th, 2003, 6:49 am

Haven't received mine yet and I'm very, very jealous...

Ira Rush · Postby **Ira Rush** » February 13th, 2003, 8:00 am

Received the issue Tuesday, 2/11.

Richard...This in my opinion has got to be the best issue yet !

Any chance we can look forward to similar issues about such greats as "Kaps", "Jennings" or "Vernon"

As usual, keep up the great work !

Richard Kaufman · Postby **Richard Kaufman** » February 13th, 2003, 8:35 am

Ira, we did a Vernon issue in December of 2001.

Arrived in Houston on 2/11 !

Steve V · Postby **Steve V** » February 15th, 2003, 5:20 pm

Richard, I've a question. On Friday the 14th my local shop had not yet received the new Genii. That's fine, I'll just go in again but I'm wondering where you are printing and shipping from now. I take it it's no longer here on the West Coast.
