Unfortunately, unless I’m reading things incorrectly, it looks like it is already sold out.

PapaG

Thanks Jackpot. It's always nice to have one's sanity reaffirmed.

PapaG

I remember reading somewhere that, as I said earlier, he'd come to the same conclusion about what constitutes a 'natural' double lift. Can't remember where though.

At around the 1.52 mark:

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

PapaG

Didn't Charlie Miller come to exactly the same conclusion after observing laypeople turning over the top card?

If the gaffs can be easily DIYed with a regular deck and simple materials, I would rather the decks that come with the book to have the appropriate period vibe.

PapaG

For those of us who'd like to buy more than one, in order to future-proof the tricks from wear and tear, will you be printing extra decks?

PapaG

Truth is it was unlikely to have bothered Jerry at all.

Come on, you can't get off that lightly.

What's your issue with the findings?

PapaG

Absolutely fascinating material on today's Jerx post.

I thought for a couple of seconds - and said, 'Yeah - I can go to that level'. Alas, it was a joke.

Please don't tempt him.

PapaG

I wonder how he feels about people coming up to him and talking magic.

PapaG

I think it was a decent thing he did by changing the name. We no longer live in the age where something from another country is de facto 'other' and automatically qualifies as not of this world. The times have moved on. In some ways.

PapaG

Nice one.

PapaG

Really? No more information? At least tell us if it was a breakthrough or a further setback...

Tease...

I sympathise with what has happened to the Jennings books but, bloody hell, what a tragic waste.

PapaG

Jennings??

PapaG

Inspirational stuff. Thanks for posting.

PapaG

Magicians should really get behind Andy. He is one of the real bright sparks in our field and it would be more than a real shame to see The Jerx disappear. The subscription rate is something extremely affordable and, for those who do subscribe, there will be exclusive content. I really think we're l...

Talking of slow boats from China, is the So Sato book making its way to shops in the UK? I'd like to get a copy from my local store before Brexit achieves dollar/pound parity...

PapaG

But please, only after the release of the Jennings books.

PapaG

As long as the £ pulls out of this fatal nose dive...

PapaG

If there are no issues of bad faith, why is this new, let's call it 'trove'... being sold for half the original asking price?

PapaG

These books (full sets...) are now popping up in stores all over the place.

What an absolute p!ss take by the publisher.

PapaG

The Daily Mail is an appalling rag that has absolutely no regard for truth or morality. It was (in)famously a supporter of Hitler and the Third Reich and it hasn't changed much since.

PapaG

You had to be a subscriber.

Bill, the misinterpretations continue - I thought you meant I was being obsequious ...

PapaG

I think PapaG used the double negative accidentally, making his statement, "I am a fan of the Genii Forum." Unless he meant otherwise, which he's free to tell us. I meant the double negative - I am a fan of the Genii forum. I did logic as part of my degree years ago but you've got me thin...

PapaG

Well done you.

PapaG

I don't think you can compare an open forum with a site which comprises one person's ideas and thinking (produced at a rate of knots...).

Not that I am not a fan of the Genii forum.

PapaG

The Jerx is hands down the best new magic content on the web. Andy's thinking and presentations are leaps ahead.

And the blog is as funny as f@@@.

PapaG

The real work on this has never been printed. I saw Jennings cull and stack four Aces from a shuffled deck with no suspicious fiddling and quickly and casually. Well bloody well publish it then please! Will this find its way into the Jennings books? And, the perennial question, how close are they t...

Still reeling from the Elmsley Count observation. All four cards? Just four cards? Still face down?

What was the Elmsley Count observation?

PapaG

It's the first of three volumes? Can you give us a rough overview of how the books are going to be divided?

On a side note, is the Dad Stevens book still in the long grass or will some of that material make it into these volumes?

PapaG

[censored] is Bansky a common thief.

Going to see his stage show in a few months. Off topic but I think Linehan has really emasculated Delaney's creation. The radio show is/was pure genius.
