Wow!!!! Can't wait!

(How in the world did you get such a big issue to hold together with staples?)

No staples: it's perfect bound like Vanity Fair.

Sweet! Hopefully USPS won't trash mine in the mail

And what if I'm not a subscriber (but I'm planning to be one soon)? How can I buy it?

You need to subscribe NOW and your subscription will start with this issue.

Amazing issue - WOW !

I wish I could resist the urge to view it on the Ipad and wait for the "real" thing. There's something so much better about the actual magazine - at least to this irrelevant old guy.

Don't resist! At the very least you should watch and listen to the audio and video supplements.

"More Genii Speaks" has exciting news about Richard's book-in-process on Tenkai...

Anyone receive this in the mail yet? Just wondering if it will take longer because it's heavier. It shouldn't, of course, but logic seems to have no connection to the workings of the post office.

Giant-sized Genii arrived in Madison, WI on Saturday (Nov 17).

Love the timeline of Genii covers, and art/layout examples from many eras.

I look forward to sitting down for a full read over the holiday weekend!

Double Issue arrived in St. Louis on November 15.

Spectacular!

Central Georgia this morning (19th).

Got mine today too (19th).

Received in Seattle this afternoon. Just now tearing the plastic off. Very cool! :)

Arrived moments ago. It's Big!

Received in western suburbs of Chicago today.

Received north of San Diego (Murrieta, CA) today. WOW!!!!

Sounds like it's hitting all areas of the country. That's nice! Hope you all have some time to read it this holiday weekend.

Fl today.. Nice job

Reading it now in Beautiful Downtown Burbank. Well done and worth the wait!

Orlando in Monday's mail---I had to help the Mrs carry it from the mailbox. Goodie bag--Genii Bash--double issue. An amazing way to finish of the 75th year. Proud to be a subscriber for life! Congrats to the small but mighty Genii team.

Came in the mail last Saturday here in Utah. (11/17)

Got mine in yesterday's mail (11/19) here Kansas City! Fantastic issue!!

Arrived today in SoCal. So BIG!!!

That's what she said.

Monday afternoon, Portland, OR

GO

And in Indiana. I was impressed with the digital edition, but the physical magazine is even more awesome. The Larsens and the Kaufmans should be very proud.

And it hit the San Francisco East Bay today

NH today...

LA on the Nov 20.

Picked up mine from the Post Office yesterday, so it arrived in southwest Virginia either on the 19th or 20th. Lots of holiday reading (and viewing, thanks to the DVDs in the goodie folio) ahead of me over the weekend. :)

Jeremy

North New Jersey yesterday. A nice Thanksgiving gift and a respite from the stress of dealing with the mess at the Jersey Shore.
Happy Thanksgiving all! Gratitude is at the top of my psyche today.

Santa Clara, CA, yesterday, 11/21.

Just couldn't wait any longer and headed to Ask Alexander.

While I am still interested in hearing when your issue reaches you, I would also like to know which trick you like best among the 69 that I chose to include. There's a wide variety of times and everyone (I hope) will find at least one item that is of interest. Please post here.

Still working my way through it all, but Brady White's Automatic Second Deal made me smile. Clever!

Evan: it's a clever thing. The sliver can be tiny and half the thickness of a card and it will work. Makes doing a Second Deal as easy as dealing cards normally.

As an aside, the copy of the issue sent to our home arrived today, November 23.

So many great items - current favorite is blowing the dust off of Paul Harris's 'Erase the Ace' to put it back in my repertoire.

Impromptu, ends cleans, looks like CGI.
