Re: Why don't you attend local magic clubs?

The local group meets on Tuesdays which makes it very difficult to attend (I have to help my children with their homework and I work very early on weekdays)... I've asked for a change of day but they say they are used to meeting on Tuesdays. I go to an occasional meeting whenever there is no homewor...

Re: Updated PM Card Mark ebook

Hi Pete,

I have version 1.1...

What do we have to do if we bought it from Vanishing Inc? Do we have to message them or send them an e-mail? It has not been automatically updated, I just checked.

Thanks for a great product!
