Re: Neil Lester
In addition to being a master craftsman, Neil was also a psychologist. He wrote a slim volume on child psychology that had some simple techniques that helped me be a more effective parent. I thanked him years ago and remain grateful.
He will be missed and my sympathies go out to his family.

Re: Ordering from Bob Cassidy
I'm continuously amazed at folks who get thoroughly screwed by Bob Cassidy and then ORDER AGAIN!!!
I don't care how great Cassidy's material may be, but by continuing to order from this individual you are encouraging him to continue his unethical, if not illegal, behavior. How needy can people be?

Prof Presentations of Al Koran
Noticed that this has been recently published. Curious to know if it's simply an update of "Al Koran's Legacy" by Hugh Miller? The effects listed in the description on Hocus Pocus seem to be the same. Thanks.

It's unfortunate that we must continue with the current topic heading. Steve Brown is working hard to turn around the toxic Spina years. I suggest the next positive comments about Tannen's start with a newly named topic.

The last few times we've been in Paris lack of time has prevented me from visiting the Paris magic shop(s). I'd appreciate any suggestions from folks who've visited there recently. Would also be very interested in magic bars, etc.

El Duco makes a version called FRUIT SALAD. It's about $50. Not very elegantly crafted but it gets the job done.

If you've fooled around with Arising Card and found it impractical (as I did) but applauded the idea, I recommend you to a new creation by Christopher Brent called The Telekinetic Card Rise. A card is mentally selected and the value only is shared with the magi. That card then rises from a boxed dec...
