I was just going to post this, but I see that Richard beat me to it. Mark really is a great trade show worker -- and deserves the good press.

He also has a brilliant trick that RK wrote up in the first issue of MAGIC.

Has he published anything else?

I think Mark had a set of lecture notes at one point, and I believe I described another trick of his someplace.

Great article about one of magic's real workers and all around good guys. I just checked and my old company, H & R Magic Books apparently still has three copies of Mark's excellent 19 page "Vienna" notes in stock for a mere $10 each! Here's a link:

Wow, That is a great article Mark.

Congratulations!

I have had the pleasure of working at many trade shows that Mark was performing at, both here and abroad, including one in Birmingham, England where as I recall - we worked across the aisle from one another. He is a class act, extremely professional and one heck of a great magician.

Best Regards,

David
