If you have Disney+, you can check out Penn & Teller’s appearance on episode 15, Alien vs Nedator, of the “talk show” Earth to Ned. P&T start off performing their cups & balls and then head to the couch to discuss lies/lying with Ned.

I was able to get a ticket but only after playing “Whack-A-Mole,” select a date, but by time got to purchase screen date was sold out... go back to date selection and repeat. Was strange that every time I went back to date selection, a different set of dates was available.

Richard Kaufman wrote:What was your room rate, John?

$224.

Looked at the rates for the next month and they vary from $130 (prepaid, non-cancellable) to $240. The FISM rate of $265 is definitely high.

In terms of the Hilton - this can’t be booked online yet but according to the organizers can be booked by calling the reservations line. I can attest to using the reservations line. The agent was a bit surprised at my asking for a room in 2021 and even more surprised that the entire hotel was avail...

Minor clarification...

The $66 increase is for Resident Magician dues. The increase for Non-Resident Magicians is is half that, $33.

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...

Alas, not.

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...

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.
