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...

So when Andy mentions in the article the performers who repeatedly classic force, for apparent comedic effect, a chosen card we should infer that those audiences don't assume that they are being force to choose a particular card over and over again, and that they instead assume that any card they ch...

Re: The Works
One thing I've noticed about some of Weber's material, there tends to be a bit of overlap. Not sure about an overlap, but he does keep returning to classic problems and solving them differently and probably better each time. Don't know who else went to Magic Live, but the idea of performing Jackpot...

Is there any new information regarding magic in Cuba, I'm very curious.
Richard, is there someone specific you may have heard that from? I'm very interested in researching this topic, especially now with commercial american flights heading in to Cuba.

Brad, You make a valid argument. If I may make a comparison to the history of film the French New Wave was not necessarily a new genre of movies, rather it was a new approach. Each film existed in its own genre but dressed in a style none had seen before. The Jerx would then be the New Wave of Bizar...
