I strongly recommend Jon Armstrong's Penguin Live Act lecture.

Thanks Richard, I have made a request to join the group.

I'm looking to see if anyone would like to split their room at the Florida Hotel for the Genii convention.

please email me at michael@miamimindreader.com

Sounds like a great weekend packed full of great magic.

I'm wondering what exactly is Basic Training Breakfast with Ian Kendall?

Mac Stone

Will the schedule be announced prior to the convention?

Mac Stone

The Triple Issue has arrived.

Mac Stone

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.

Well I'm glad I have my copy then.

I believe this goes back to Alex Elmsley's Power Poker.

Mac Stone

Another one.

Mac Stone

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.

Issue 1 of Volume 2 now available.

Mac Stone

Looks like fun. When can we expect news about workshops?

Mac Stone

I'm lost.

Mac Stone

How do you like it?

Mac Stone

I wish I would have checked in on the marketplace sooner!

A non-gaffed pad is described in PRISM.

This appears to be the forum we were expecting, maybe another issue will be right around the corner?

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...

Mac Stone

I see.

I suppose I got confused when we started talking about Psience in a thread about The Works. Now I must write an apology to The Director...

Mac Stone

Curiously I'm still waiting on mine. Maybe it will magically appear some other time.

Mac Stone

When I spoke with Weber at Genii he said the next issue would be in our mailboxes by the time we got back from the convention. He may still be at Genii.

Mac Stone

For anyone interested, I experimented with a little art project during the convention. You can find the results at the link below, I hope you enjoy.

Chance was the star of the convention.

Mac Stone

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...

Richard,

Are the photos from the convention going to be published online somewhere? Would love to see them, relive the memories.

Mac Stone

I just registered.

Mac Stone

Are you sure your room is only booked until the 7th? I assume you mean you will be checking out the 8th?

Mac Stone

Is that private forum still in The Works?

no

Mac Stone

Does anyone have any news on that special forum for The Works?

Mac Stone

Seems Jerry Sadowitz wasn't too happy to see these videos on youtube.

They have been removed at his request.

Mac Stone

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.

He is not serious. This is a joke. He is obviously being facetious.

Mac Stone

what part of andy's 'style' did not exist before. exactly? Let's bear in mind I am not claiming to be an expert or an authority on magic history, I'm here for a stimulating conversation on magic. My point earlier in referencing the French New Wave was to try to clarify the issue of defining genres ...
