My money is on a compedium of ultimate ACAAN effects. Translated from the original Italian.

Sure sounds like Skinner, but a lot of his stuff made it to video. Perplexed...

Re: Announcement of a Secret Project
Is it the working videos ( la your videos with Brother John) for a book that you already published?

Re: Announcement of a Secret Project
I think I have this figured out. But - if I'm right, then maybe I shouldn't ruin the surprise. I hope I am right since I would love to see more work from this creator.
Maybe Kaufman can PM me if he wants me to keep quiet?
If I am on the right track then the following should makes sense to Richard. The second to last letter of his surname was spelled with an 'e'. Yet - I often often saw it incorrectly spelled with an 'i'.
Anyway - I could be completely wrong. If I am I will name the guy I have in mind.

Re: Announcement of a Secret Project
Ok - back from work now. Had a chance to look up the age of this magician when he died.
And it is probably not him since he died at 80 and thus I am guessing didn't 'die prematurely' as Richard mentioned in his tease.
I officially have no idea who this is!

PS My guess was Bob Stencel.

Someone else is doing Stencel, not me. Lips sealed.

How about Tim Connover? (probably not famous enough)

Re: Announcement of a Secret Project
I don't think it will be Tim. Eric Mead is working on that book and he says it won't be ready for at least a couple of years.

Not Conover (the family is publishing that).
Not Slydini (I wish!).

Tommy Wonder, I wonder?
The suspense is killing me.
Okay, it's not Carl Ballantine. Let's start from there.

Re: Announcement of a Secret Project
Much as a collection of Tony's work would be welcome, I'm not sure he fits in with the 'died early' data...
Since it's not a book, I'm going with a holographic 'Pepper's Ghost' version of Vernon that you set up in your study and it shouts at you that you are flashing...

Re: Announcement of a Secret Project
Looy Simonoff? Would be great to see more from him.
But it probably isn't him since he was quite old when he died.

Re: Announcement of a Secret Project
I like Ian's idea -- in fact I'm sure some wag could cobble together some Vernon footage/audio where he makes various criticisms. This could be an app -- Vernon humiliates you. You would play it as you worked on a trick.

It's not Giorgio. I published all of his best magic routines, with the exception of his three-card monte, in his special issue of Genii.

So you do not deny the Vernon Humiliation app? Interesting.

Re: Announcement of a Secret Project
I've been tongue-lashed by Vernon, so no thanks.

Re: Announcement of a Secret Project
All right, but the next time we meet, you owe me a torrent of verbal abuse. In the interest of fairness, you should wait until I show you a trick.

Was there ever a good magician who spent time with Vernon that he didn't tongue-lash?

Re: Announcement of a Secret Project
BTW, that wasn't meant to be a rehetorical, snarky question. I was asking because from what I've read, he was reputed to be a tough critic of pretty much everyone. I was just curious if anyone in particular seemed to get less of the business.
Re: Announcement of a Secret Project
I'll take a shot: The Bruce Cervon videos. Not that Richard is going to give in with a right guess...

Re: Announcement of a Secret Project
I still think the Vernonator would be a good app to develop...might have to give David Ben a call.
