Richard,

For some people if you were to hand them a bar of gold, they'd bitch it wasn't shiny enough.

If anyone has a personal issue with someone, why hide behind your keyboard? Look them up, grow a set and deal with it face to face.

One might want to compare Geoff's performance of CopSilBrass from the NYCMS DVD vol 2 (circa 2006?), with the vintage 1983 performance of the same effect we put on the NEW set of NYCMS DVD's - its on volume 8. You can see the difference in how the young Latta performed his magic then - it should give you a better idea of what he was able to do with coins when he was in his prime, as compared to his later years.

Believe me this isn't worth starting a new thread. By the way, not everybody that is tough comes from Kentucky. I had my face to face years ago and it is Jamy who continually hides behind the pen with everyone he criticizes.

This may surprise you, but I look forward to purchasing the Minch books on Geoff Latta when available. Although, we all know that we must be reminded by Jamy that Richard orignally had the project before handing it over to Minch. Got to hand it to Jamy.....kiss up to the boss.

I just think there are plenty of better reviewers of books and dvds out there. The transparent hidden agendas are also becoming tired. I am done with the piling on.....promise.

P.S. - Who is Matt Field?

And yet another romance blossoms online. Sigh.

Late again . . . Is this the T.S. Eliot class?
