I heard the BOS had recently folded.

AJM

I’d love to be prevailed upon by friends - I just don’t have any.

If a writer wishes others to read and appreciate their written work then they owe it to themselves, and their readership, to ensure, at the very least , that it is free of typographical errors. This applies to all published works of course, more so when it comes to those magic books which cost sever...

I can exclusively reveal that Richard is the mysterious Andy.

Brilliant performance Quentin.

Suzy Wandas eh? With the SW prominently displayed on the cover. And what other mysterious author also has the letters SW in their name? I think it is now time to explore the possibility that our old friend SW Erdnase was actually female. It is quite conceivable that child prodigy Ms Wandas could hav...

What Q said.

Might need to change the title of the thread slightly in order to manage our expectations.

I believe these once belonged to Mrs Slocombe.

I’ve seen a picture of Bob’s guitar pedal set up - I believe the lights dim across Canada every time he powers it up.

Andrew

Oh dear.

For goodness sake, talk about 'getting on with it' - can 'performer' not just watch the whole thing then perhaps give us his brief views afterwards?

I did see the Lucy Darling performances at Genii IV and have to admit I wasn't entirely bowled over.

Hadn’t heard tell of him for a while.

I have his Card Rise and his Open Prediction book.

Sad news.

Andrew.

Enforced quarantine for 14 days I’m afraid.

The island would have been perfectly fine if it hadn’t been for random folks turning up with their cards and books.

I suppose they’ll have plenty to read for the next couple of weeks.

Andrew

The desert island is not currently allowing new visitors.

From the exhaustive research I’ve carried out, the majority of which I’ve just made up, I can exclusively reveal that Hofsinzer was born Fin Shozer. In his early magic days the young Shozer described himself as ein ‘schwenken wichser’ or ‘flourish wanker’ in English, which can be constricted to, as ...

Mr Forte kindly signed both volumes as requested and also enclosed a signed playing card.

Seeing no activity in both the Erdnase and Steve Forte book threads since they were separated, I have reconsidered and merged them. Let's see some thoughts on Steve's books! I suspect some will be taking a little time to digest Mr Forte’s views, which I have read with interest. While I’m not fully ...

I knew a guy called Jim Appel who’s name was always a source of some amusement to any Frenchman he met.

AJM

Hmm - my subscription expires in May. Should I renew for 3 years I wonder?

So many books, so little space...

Andrew

AJM

A bit quiet on this thread today.

Then again, maybe I should just keep my erde-nase out of other folk’s business...

Nope - still don’t see how Orson Bean is a funnier name than Dallas Burrows.

Now Dick Van Dyke - that’s a funny name.
Funnier than his cockney accent if truth be told.

Rip Torn, that’s a good one too.

Now if I fitted carpets I’d change my name to Walter Wall.

AJM

His birth name was Dallas Burrows and he changed his name to Orson Bean? Why bother?

AJM

The second link worked for me.

However I see there is no UK shipping option so it looks like I'm out.

AJM

JustinM - not when viewing on an iPhone unfortunately.

Chris - thank you. Lots of great books.

Andrew

AJM

Everything except magic books as far as I can see from following the link.

Very sad news indeed.

The last time I spoke to Mr Walton was I think around two years ago - we bumped into each other in the foyer at the Penn & Teller show in Glasgow.

A great loss.

Whenever I'm asked to do an impromptu trick my 'go to' effect has always been the Hooker Card Rise.

I'm surprised no-one else has mentioned it...

Andrew

AJM

Do I need this book? - no.

Will I be ‘ordering’ a copy? - very likely.

So much for 2020 being my ‘getting rid of stuff’ year...

AJM

Sad news, however Davenports didn’t have the most salubrious of locations in Old London Town. One had to wend one’s way through the subterranean nooks and crannies of the Charing Cross underground station complex before alighting upon its portals. I recall an eventful occasion when, upon my arrival ...

AJM

I have a copy of it somewhere in the AJM archives - must dig it out.

My rather tenuous Rush 'claim to fame' is that my voice features as part of the 'Glasgow Chorus' credited on the Exit...Stage Left live album, on the song Closer to the Heart. The track was recorded at a show at the world famous and sadly long gone Glasgow Apollo in the early 80's. I recall my frien...

Could I interrupt normal programming briefly to mention that Debbie McGee has won today’s festive edition of Strictly Come Dancing?

I’ll now pass back control to old Ronnie.

Thank you.

Andrew

Couldn’t this have gone in the other thread?
