RK,

I will be there on and off, so not a full move as I still have my place in LA. Once we are up and running I will be in Boise less.

Anyway I can spell check a subject line? :)

George,
Thanks for passing the info on!!

Hey guys, I have been working on an amazing new magical dining experience in Idaho called Mystique, for the last few months. I have been waiting to invite all of you to come see what we have been working on for quite some time. Well, that day has arrived!! I am excited to announce the opening of our...

Terry Ward is doing his street show at The Disney MGM Studio Park. He was doing the Diamond Horseshoe then they changed the show to a charater greating last year or so. Terry is a joy to watch and the reason I'm the magician I am today. His days off are Sunday, Monday and is there in the late moring...

Originally posted by Big Jeff: What is the best day to visit the Magic Castle? Jeff, That all depends on how you look at it. If you would like to be there during a slow time when you would be able to see all of the shows, then Monday or Tuesday would be the way to go. Wednesday night is mellow nigh...

As Jon's conversation has a habit of doing, the subject of comic books came up. He still seeks Batman Issue 1 (who doesn't!).

It's really Detective Comics 27 ( again I'm a big geek) but yeah I really want it. Thanks for the kind words.

David, There is an often overlooked trick in Card Collage 3 called "Palindromic Cards" that might fit the bill. Basically it goes a little something like this... The 1-5 of any suit are counted one at a time into someone's hand but by the time you would reach 5 it has changed into the Ace ...

Doug: I'm a fan of the work I have seen of yours in print. Wonderful thinking I would say, if my opinion matters much. The guy in the dress must have been really good. Chambers: All of the above choices are must read (with maybe the exception of Magic for Dummies but I digress..). The only thing I m...

Trust me I know your pain. I being one of the casualties of Caesar's Magical Empire closing I know how it feels to lose a beloved gig. I moved to LA and have been doing a Sat night weekly at a D&B here in town. So far that is still going on and the place is jumping every time I've been there. Yo...

Ok I say we all read Close Up Card Magic by Harry Lorayne and do a little book report compare notes on it. Who's with me?
By the way hey there Rick. Missed you for the rest of the convention.
Reading is so cool,
Jon

Here is an attempt to get back on topic..... I have been spending a lot of time at the new Denny and Lee shop in Las Vegas and have been able to read though tons of great tomes on magic both old and new. Some I want for the home bookshelf include... 21st Century card magic by Jim Swain I like the &q...

I was wondering if anyone here was at the Phoenix Gathering. I was there just a bit ago and even though I felt there was a few bugs I enjoyed myself alot. So I would like to have your thoughts on the convention. What did you like? What didn't you like at all? Did you meet anyone that made you look a...

Other guys you have not heard of but should see if you can... Apollo Robbins - pickpocket and coin guy The only guy I ever seen get the same watch off of a guy 3 times and fool them each time. Also some of the coolest coin work you will ever see. Terry Ward - My mentor Has been Disney's magician in ...

Maybe it's just me but I belive with the flood of stuff on the market today secrets are just not as valued today as there were in the past at any price. I am not that old but I still remember back when you had to learn from books. Today I know so many guys that have never opened a magic book in ther...
