Re: Vanishing Inc buys Houdini's Magic Shop

I wish them luck with it. Opening a magic shop nowadays is asking for trouble. They are closing down all over the place left, right and centre. Of course this is a tourist location so they might be in with a chance. The secret is to get GREAT demonstrators. That is the entire key. And it is not eas...

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.
