Evan,

This is a listing on the IBM membership page that links to an email address. However it doesn’t say how old it is. It’s worth a try I suppose.

Mr. Ash,

With all due respect, I’m curious about your post. Last I read you passed away in July 2020.

Tannen’s has Mainspring in stock.

Fredrick

It’s still available through Barnes & Noble website https://www.barnesandnoble.com/ They offer the Exclusive and Signee editions.

Fredrick

A couple resources come to mind. Charlie Miller published a routine in Genii’s Magicana in No. 48, November 1968
Also there’s a booklet by Eddie Joseph which may be available through second hand dealers. Supreme published a booklet as part of their How To series which is available through lybrary.com.

I too had a Houdini’s Magic kit Like Bill, all that remains is the book. The first book I was given was The Golden Book of Magic by the Great Merlini (Clayton Rawson). It wasn’t until I was exposed to the Jinx and Phoenix magazines that I realized who Rawson was.

There’s a copy on the Kenna Thompson auction with little activity so far: https://ktmagicauction.com/Listing/Deta ... arry-Riser

Are you thinking of Opium Coins? https://sterlinimagic.com/product/opium ... lf-dollar/

There was a Uno based Six Card Repeat effect in Magic Magazine. I can’t recall when but I believe it was in David Kaye’s column. The numbers corresponded to the counts in each repetition.

"How Time Flys " - from the U.F. Grant: 'Presto Clock Vanish' prop; Grant/Mak. I don't know if the classic 'Presto Clock Vanish' is a prop that Mak still sells; but, if they do, I hope they never change the misspelling on the prop - if they did, it might just ruin all of magic. Jim, It lo...

If you log onto the Genii website, you’ll find it there. If you’re looking on the app, it’s a little glitchy sometimes and doesn’t display all the back issues.

Mine arrived about a week ago here on the Kitsap peninsula.

Based on this list on Amazon, In and Of Itself is not one of the available films.

They’re still being sold and popular in the festival crowd. Here’s an example: https://flowtoys.com/props/wands. Jeff McBride talks about them on his Magic at the Edge DVD set. Strictly my opinion - dancing cane is one of those tricks that the only person fooled is the person using it.

My VAPR died also - much sooner than I expected especially based on the price point. My research proved that our experience is quite common. Of the three components in the smoke production unit, two of the three have design issues. The original heater coils died quickly. SansMinds has since released...

I have been told - but not tried - to use a thin double faced tape. Carpet tape or toupee tape should work.

Fredrick

Recently dusted off the manuscript and was wondering if the video was posted on the forum?

Thanks in advance!

Fredrick

Agreed; however it was the edition readily available 20 years ago after Tannen's sold the book line to Robbins.

Fredrick

Hi, Tom

I have a Robbins 3rd Edition 1997 in excellent condition that I am happy to let go of for $25.00 - shipped free media mail if you're interested.

In my case it isn't the current issue, it's the previous ones. I'm using an iPad too. I've never had an issue up to this point

Thank you,

Off hold and back on the market.

Thanks!

On hold.

Rather vague inquiry. But I'll bite - what do you want to know about your silks?

Fredrick

Excellent question - I have only spoke to him in person at his booth at MagiFest. I just called him Andy.

Fredrick

Book dealer, Andy Greget, is located in Scottsdale. He doesn't have a website or email so a phone call is required. Easely's Costume and Fun Shop is still in business I believe. The caveat is that it's magic section is small.

Yes - I concur with the others. There are many wonderful restaurants.

Fredrick

Worked fine for me! Thanks for posting. Interesting article...

There's David Parr and Joe Diamond's Magic Cabaret that has been running since 2007 in Chicago. Benjamin Barnes and Robert Charles have been producing Magic Chicago since 2005. PT Murphy has a long running show in Galena Il. There's Magic Monday in Seattle that's been going for at least 15 years. Th...

Its most likely an issue of cost control. SAM as well as many social organizations are struggling. Membership is aging. Younger people do not seem interested in club meetings. It would not be unexpected that at some point in the future clubs like IBM, SAM, Eagles, Elks, and others will vanish.

Fredrick

Here's a link to Abbott's page for the trick. . There's a video demo. But fair warning it's 3:00 minutes you will never recover

Shawn Farquhar marketed a matrix effect that used steel core coins and a magnet years ago. But as Richard points out, it may not be worth the effort.

Fredrick

The gimmick was a Ed Mellon Jim Swoger creation. I purchased one as a kid in the late 60's from Swoger's House of Enchantment. Swoger made it look like a miracle - thus the name, Miracle Money. I believe Meir credits them.

Fredrick

Thank you Richard. This isn't the place for their "discussion."

Fredrick

Maybe I am missing something but if there is an act or event at a convention one doesn't want to see, then simply skip that event. Or choose not to attend the convention. Last I checked there are no magic police rounding people up and making them attend.

Fredrick

Good catch Richard. Thanks!

The band, They Might Be Giants, feature some uncredited card work in this week's video release, I'm A Coward.

Charlie, Jack or Mitch?

Good idea Richard. A build on that would be to differentiate between full time, part time and hobbyist. I have professionals at all levels of magic.
