Are there any plans for a review of the new book by Harry Lorayne "Personal Collection" in Genii Magazine?
Would love to hear more about.

I talked to Paul Cummins yesterday on the telephone. He called about some credits, but he is almost finished writing his review of Harry's new book...and he waxed enthusiastically about this and that...(mostly that). In short, he is having fun going through it and thoroughly enjoying himself. This, it would seem, is a good sign? My preliminary perusal was also positive. Paul's review will appear in Genii. Watch for it.

I'm sold ! I just sent my order in to Harry Lorayne for the book. I'm hoping that there will be some left. The "memory, estimation, and slight of hand" effect looks interesting. Does anyone know anything about it?

The Memory Estimation Sleight trick is one that I've seen Harry use for many years, and which he swore (no bullpoo) that he would never put in print. It is extremely hard to do, but it will fool every magician for whom you perform it ... IF you can perform it.
