February Issue of Genii Now Arriving!
The February issue of Genii should start arriving in your homes. My copy by second-class arrived today. You will find a great article about Herb Zarrow by David Ben on our cover, with the first correct (that is, most complete) description of the Zarrow shuffle ever published, plus a history of false shuffles and the publication of letters between Herb Zarrow and Ed Marlo from the late 1950s that will put to rest any further discussion of the so-called Shank Shuffle.
In addition, we have articles on Teller's new production of Shakespeare's Macbeth, opening in Washington DC shortly; a piece on the Master of Illusion software for the Nintendo DS game system (a remarkable thing--really); and a lovely piece by Jim Steinmeyer on the subject of what's going on at Magic Inc. in Chicago. Plus all the usual.
Please let me know when you receive your copy (or when you get it from your dealer) and what you think.
I do realize that our cover story is a bit long and specialized, but it's something that really needs to be told, and a record that needs to be set straight, at long last.

I received mine yesterday, January 16th, in Chattanooga. I haven't had a chance to read it yet, but the Zarrow article looks spectacular.

Re: February Issue of Genii Now Arriving!
Got mine a few days ago.
The Feb 2008 issue alone is worth the annual subscription price. The Zarrow article is brilliant and is packed with lots of very interesting, entertaining, and useful information.
Richard, regarding your question about which DVDs to review -- whether you should review the good or the bad -- for some reason I am always first drawn to read the BAD reviews and then I go to the GOOD. I like the current balance you have and would like to continue seeing reviews of both great and crappy products.
It's just as important to warn us about seriously bad products as it is to tell us about great products.
Thanks,
Kevin

I always enjoy the Giobbi write-ups and the Hollingworth column is becoming a favorite as well. Good weekend reading for sure.

Re: February Issue of Genii Now Arriving!
This is an incredible issue! In terms of product reviews I think the most important thing is shining a spotlight on that which is excellent but obscure.
Also, Giobbi asks if readers would "occasionally enjoy reading one or two more articles of this type dealing with details of handling." My answer is YES.

Re: February Issue of Genii Now Arriving!
Zarrow shuffle article sounds very interesting, but having just re-subscribed earlier this month, hope I will get this one along with the January issue, as the article on the 10th Los Angeles Conference of Magic History should be a good read.

Received Volume 71, Number 2, today, January 19, 2008, in Hobart, Indiana, 46342.
I really do not think it (date of delivery) is determined by the following criteria... distance from printers, use of the five + four zip code or being a buddy of Richard.... but rather that you are at the mercy of how the magazines are delivered to the Post Office and how the Postal System handles them.....

Re: February Issue of Genii Now Arriving!
Just opened my Feb. Genii (must have arrived yesterday 01/19/08).
Thanks for the Teller "Scottish Play" article and the "Magic Inc." article. It's ironic (intentional I'm sure) that they were adjacent in the magazine. Sandy Marshall LOVES the Scottish Play.
Love the "damned spot" shot of Teller and Posner. Nice color.

Re: February Issue of Genii Now Arriving!
Hi;
Really enjoyed the Zarrow material! Has anybody else had the center page pop loose from the staples? I think it's probably because this issue is so full of good material.

Roberto is my hero. He can give no wrong advice, as far as I'm concerned. (Even if I disagree with something he says, which is practically never, he always makes me think more deeply than I thought I would.)

Re: February Issue of Genii Now Arriving!
Good morning, Richard
Received Genii in Lafayette, Indiana about a week ago.
This Feb issue will be a tough act to follow.
An earlier reader announced that this issue was more than the price of admission. I vote with him.
I also received Girogio's ned DVD's. A tremendous addition to the card worker's library. The dvd's are a treasure.
Where was this kind of information in 1950?
Please continue as with your current standards.
