Stick with it Richard, if you manage to get an through entire episode and can fully understand the Glaswegian accent (and associated slang) then you automatically qualify to become an honorary Scotsman. Andrew. Anyways back to Greater Magic, I’m very much looking to this new version (or at least som...

I’m happy with 88/90 and 91/92 as listed but would prefer the others to be blank on the other side.

Do you think this might be possible?

Andrew

AJM

Great - I was keen on purchasing the following pages:-
22
36
89
90
91
92
151
201
365
I guess that’s out of the question too.

Just my luck.

‘Twas Daryl that got me into all this card malarkey.

The ‘vent’ David Copperfield found fame in the 80’s in a BBC sketch show called Three of a Kind, which also starred (Sir) Lenny Henry and Tracey Ullman. While the latter pair went on to bigger and better things, the British DC disappeared into obscurity. Wayne Dobson also used to do a similar piece ...

I’m a big film fan and I do like sci-fi but have never taken to Star Wars for some reason.

Count me in Richard.

They are a beautiful set of books, as we have come to expect from Magicana - I hope there are more in the pipeline.

Andrew

AJM

I feel this thread is becoming a parody of itself.

Many thanks for adding that random YouTube video to my post.

Cheers

I have no idea who Erdnase was.

(I don't particularly care as I, and most of us, have more important things to worry about.)

But I know he wasn't Gallaway...

AJM

I can only see 1 item...

Cheers

I ordered one of those bodybuilding machines a while back - I had to send it back as I couldn't get the packaging open...

AJM

You’re looking rather pale Bob, if you don’t mind me saying - I think you may have to take a break from visiting the biker bar for a while.

Cheers

Andrew

AJM

Forget about that Erdnase geezer, the Johnny Thompson books have arrived in Scotland-land.

There will be a ceremonial opening of the box later this evening to which all are cordially invited.

Andrew

AJM

Yea, I paid $50 for this when it was first released and wasn’t best pleased with Mr Tinoco when he dropped the price to $5.

Grab yourselves a bargain folks.

Andrew.

AJM

I think a DNA test is called for - I'm convinced there must at least be a familial match. (I would genuinely have expected Ron to come up with the Glenliv e t 'gag' so Richard may well have a point.) Anyway, until the results come through, let's all sit back and enjoy the next Brad/Keyes debate... C...

AJM

MagicbyAlfred, you’re not Ronnie Performer by any chance?

The old spider senses are tingling.

Cheers

Andrew

AJM

Yes, I know what hackneyed means - that's why I used it. There is nothing more hackneyed than Ronnie Performer turning almost every thread into one about his cheeky chappy past and his beloved Svengali decks. It was suggested previously that he should start his own thread where he can talk about him...

AJM

I totally agree with Ian’s point here re. the trick effectively disclosing the method. I recall mentioning this in another thread some time ago. I also recall my opinion on this being rapidly shot down in flames.

Andrew

AJM

It’s ironic when you think about it, we move from (supposedly) cutting edge magic to the old, hackneyed,
Svengali deck in the blink of an eye...

AJM

Are Bee Pinochle playing cards still available?

Andrew

AJM

“My act is very educational. I heard a man leaving the other night, saying: ‘Well, that taught me a lesson’.”

AJM

I think anyone interested in Andy’s blog knows where to find it.

I look in now and then.

I did happen to see the the trick you describe which uses the Jerx app (which I have) and thought it was a bit lame to be honest. I guess it’s all a matter of opinion.

Cheers

Andrew

AJM

Joe - are you on commission?

Andrew

AJM

I’m sure it will be the usual suspects.

AJM

Now, now, I won’t have any aspersions cast against one of my favourite shows.

They have a crack team of question compilers.

AJM

Haha - The Two Ronnies were brilliant.

Four candles anyone?

Andrew

AJM

Xavier Spade - showbiz name perchance?

AJM

Penguin should do a lecture on the use of this prop.

Certainly would be ideal for live streaming.

Oh please yourselves....

AJM

I think urine for trouble if you use that during a show.

However I suppose there is an argument that it could keep your act flowing.

AJM

The programme for the Edinburgh Magicfest in May has been released today and I see the Magus Utopia troupe will feature in the Gala Show. Did anyone catch their convention closing turn in Blackpool this year - if so, what were your thoughts? Not my cup of 'Rosie Lee' I'm afraid and I was conscious o...

AJM

Yep - that was it! I ordered a Baffle Box (the tip over box) from Colin at the Blackpool Convention and was drooling over the hand crafted magic set as he had one on display in a glass box. (It may actually have been yours Richard now that I think about it). Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship. Cheer...

AJM

Without checking out the video - I might be able to guess what that is.

If I'm right - I want one too!

Andrew

AJM

It's starting again...

AJM

Thanks Dominic (and Jon) This book looks like it is right up my street - I will look out for it at Blackpool next month. It is very difficult for most of us to gain access to the excellent material published in The Crimp - a great shame as its format very much appeals to my sensibilities - so it wil...

AJM

Sounds good - are you able to share a little detail on the contents?

I will look out for it at Bkackpool.

Cheers

Andrew

AJM

Many thanks erdnasephile - yes, I can achieve ‘the buckle’ via other means but am having difficulty with the Draun method.

I will keep at it though as it does appear to be be a very effective move.

Regards

Andrew

AJM

I’m struggling with this one with my small Trump like hands.

However I will persevere.
