Re: Stephen King on Propless Mentalism
BTW, as phenomenal a writer as Steven King is, I don't think his writings constitute propless mentalism or telepathy, or mentalism or telepathy at all, any more than it would constitute telepathy for a performer to write down something, have a spectator read it, and then claim the message was trans...

Re: The Future of Magic Conventions
The bigger issue with vaccines as Dr. Fauci points out is that best case scenario seems to be about a 75% success rate with only, for reasons I will never understand, about 30% of the population being willing to actually take the vaccine. The timeline for achieving the level of heard immunity necess...

I wonder how the Spanish Flu affected the entertainment industry and what lessons can be learned from the past to prepare for the future?

Re: The Works
An update from The Works.
The next release will be a triple issue, three separate effects woven together into a single routine much like the first three issues of The Works.

Re: Psience
It's very practical, suited more for a Corporate Show rather than a Publicity Stunt. I feel it is very similar to another method published in a book you may already own, but in Weber fashion he has simplified the method and taken an already practical method and turned it into a real worker.

Re: The Works
Issue 8 of The Works has finally landed in our inboxes. It's quite good, IMHO. Agreed. I'm a huge Weber fan, really love his work and his thinking. What I love the most is seeing the evolution of his ideas. Issue 8 is an advancement of something he published in his Complete Mental Act, theres a pre...
