Hi, first of all I apologice for my bad English.
I'ld like to know if the item are still available, and how much cost.
Thanks

Hello Stephano,
The Fulves magazine "Rigmarole" is still available for $400

I would think L&L will eventually reprint these, and other Fulves works. Anyone know for sure?

John, L&L Publishing does not own the rights to any other publications by Karl Fulves other than those they have ALREADY published. It would be difficult to reprint the later magazines like "Swindle Sheet," "Rigmarole," "Discovery," etc., because they come with lots of apparatus--not just the magazines.
Also, you are probably unaware that all of the magazines come with OTHER periodicals that are free. All of "PallBearers" came with something called "Interlocutor." This has NOT been reprinted. Ditto for the newer magazines. Only the original subscribers get the supplementary magazines. In the case of the current one, "Underground," THREE additional magazines sometimes come with it, and most are bigger!

Thanks for Your kind end quickly replay .
Would it be possible to have same more information about Rigmarole and the supplements ?

Thanks very much

Hello Stefano,
Rigmarole is a periodical of magic effects of Scarne,Gardner,Schwartz,
Fulves,Zarrow and many others.Ordinary
effects but unusual handlings.There
are ten issues.The additional supplement is titled Verbatim,also
ten issues.It contained afterthoughts,
comments,gags and cartoons and insights.

With the two magazines(stapled 8.5"x
10" pages,illustrated by Joseph Schmidt) there are 20 "Magic Kits"-dice,
cards,Color Vision,Card Box,and other props needed to do the magic.The props are inexpensive, plastic in most cases, but one has the props at hand to start doing the material which is
unique.
Each Rigmarole was 12 pages with the
Verbatim varying about 8 pages.
The magazines and props are in mint condition.

Richard, Interloctor also carried over through the Chronicles years. Interlocter was mailed seperately and in the earlier issues would mention about the delays in sending out Pallbearers. In issue 10 dated July 20,1976 Fulves states that the last mailed issue of Pallbearers was the July 1975 issue. He blamed his delay mostly on the fact he was working simultaniously on the Gene Maze Card Switches books.
Richard, you must be commended for sending Genii out on time being you now are in a similar position as I quote from Fulves in this issue, " If I am working on the Maze book, clearly I can't also be working on other books, or magazines, or manuscripts. So other responsibilities must wait. You are right in asking if this is fair to subscribers."

Many thanks for Your kind informations
