Bill, you may be thinking of an opener that is similar to Honor System in that it involves the audience inspecting an empty wooden crate prior to the show. Then when show starts Teller appears from the crate. There is no reveal, just the sudden appearance. If I recall correctly, in Honor System ther...

The stamps, created by Charleston-designer Jay Fletch...

Great idea, Mr. Signa!

Is your app commercially available?

Alas, not.

Is there something in particular that you want to know more about the park?
History? Behind the scenes? Getting around?

Are you referring to the cards dealer in the far corner? That was 52 & Jokers. Can be contacted at 52andjoker@gmail.com

That’s a shame. I’m glad I was able to see it during my Asia trip earlier this year. It’s an interesting venue and impressive. Plus Franz was extremely gracious. It doesn’t surprise me though as both nights I went, the Studio City shopping area in which HoM is located, was empty of shoppers. I got t...

Sweet! Is Paul showing around his new version of Unshuffled from "Fool Us"? (He had stated he was going to market it at some point). He showed another routine with regular deck he's working on. He just finished reshooting some of the explanation video for the extended Unshuffled, so sound...

Had lunch with Paul today and he showed something he's developed. Great lunch.

Yeesh...
The things people do to get a rise out of Richard.

It's the same book. As Richard mentioned, Amazon created their own image. Tracking by ISBN, find same book, same price with free shipping, available from Walmart. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Illusions-The-Art-of-Magic-Posters-from-the-Golden-Age-of-Magic/55157899 Cover matches the image Brad posted.

If you go direct, you can cut out the eBay markup.

The club closes at 3:30 pm and then reopens at 5pm for dinner.

John Signa

Unless you are a member, are escorted in by a member, or are on a performers guest list, you always need to make a reservation.

Could this not be an opportunity for the up sell?
"i don't normally do this, but for $X per child, I'll teach them how to do <insert favorite slum trick> and they'll get one to take to perform at home."

Magicians are best at fooling themselves.

John Signa

According to Charity And Restautant Assoc., the average magician makes about $132,768 in exposure.

I missed out as well. In the time it took for PayPal to authenticate me, the last two disappeared.

John Signa

Unless you are escorted in by a member or on a performer's guest list, entrance requires a dinner reservation.

That is the weekend of the AMA awards show, so the Castle will be packed to capacity. Even members without dinner reservations might have a hard time getting in.

John Signa

Probably because you don't have the 16K memory expansion installed.

Shouldn't that be

Ugh, I don't beLIEve it.

And still a bargain.

Second box on the way, John. I got the Deluxe box yesterday... Was waiting for me out in the utility closet when I got home from visiting the family for Christmas. Saved it for today when the big box arrived. Now facing the collectors dilemma... Keep the tricks sealed and pristine or play with them...

UPS offers My Choice which allows you to be notified of and track packages sent to your address. With it I was able to see that mine will arrive on Tuesday after Christmas.

Did Mullica lecture on his new pickpocket act? No: straight magic and lots of comedy. Dustin, you had stepped out to get lunch during the Mullica lecture where he performed his pickpocket act followed by talking about it and asking for feedback. Unfortunately, this was not a highlight of the conven...

From the Uber app...
There are no Uber pickups at the Orlando International Airport (MCO).
You can take Uber TO the airport, however.

Sorry, Richard... No Dairy Queen.

And while the Food Pavillion isn't fully finished yet, there is a variety of choices for both carnivores and herbivores.

The Thai place people mentioned at last Genii convention is, I believe, Viet Thai Cafe (http://vietthaicafe.com).
