Hello, I've got a half dollar sized Jim "Zee" Zachary Slot Box for sale. The price is $40 (I'll throw in the shipping at no charge). PayPal preferred. It's in new condition and comes with instructions and routine (and has the rattle/no rattle feature). It'll even pose for pictures. See: ht...

Hey Rosie, Here are a few ideas off the top of my head. If anything, perhaps they'll push you in a different direction.

I have to agree. It would have been pretty funny if Richard Wiseman was the black guy.

Signed into Ask Alexander account on the 17th and gave it a few days before trying the app again but I'm still getting the "Authentication failed" error. Any ideas?

Update: I was finally able to re-download the iPhone app but still cannot log in.

I was experiencing the same problem as Jim (wouldn't accept my login info). Decided I would try to delete the app and re-download but now it won't let me do that. I'm getting an error that says "The item you tried to buy is no longer available."

I think that's it. :shrug:

Just wanted to add that I recall seeing a Tom Snyder show inside the castle (1996 or 97?). The show presented many of the rooms with people present. Also featured several magicians performing to laypeople inside the various rooms.

On topic: The White Stripes rock. :]

I do recall a Fiedler (with anti-gravity rock) cover. Maybe even less than a year ago?

Check the back issues. It was before the design change. ;]

Just a guess.

From Boing Boing: "Item #6535581498 now being offered for sale on eBay is a letter written and sent to me by Doug Henning in 1983. At that time, I lived in Rumson, New Jersey. Until I saw it on eBay a few days ago, I thought it was still in my Henning file, but it apparently was stolen from me ...

I have always preferred a very soft, flowy technique. It is my belief that any strain or tension will cause an alarm to go off in the spectators mind. You may want to ask yourself if you are going to be using it as a secret move that no one is aware of or a "look what I can do" move. Riffl...

I'll second the advice to play around with it and make it work for you. Once you find the sweet spot--the way you want it to look--then start practicing.

I don't apply any force (upward/downward/both) during the move. The technique that I use is closer to a classic pass with a riffle as cover rather than a simultaneous riffle and pass. I have tinkered around with the latter, and I would recommend learning the move softly from the start as opposed to ...

Joe:

Not sure who answered the phone but the shop said (unfortunately): "unforeseen financial problems."

Yikes.

I agree that the website needs to be updated immediately.

Useful?

This place has black putty. They also carry other unusual styles of putty such as magnetic putty.

I hope this topic doesn't get too out of hand.

I'll put in a quiet vote for: Fake.

He was traveling to Japan a lot back then, too. Definately give me a shout if you come to Atlanta.

I think I saw a version of John Hirokawa's show around 1992 at a New Year's Eve event in Honolulu. I recall an Okito style floating ball routine that was GREAT!

Hey Curtis, do you know Glen Fujimoto? This guy is responsible for my passion in magic. About 12 or 13 years ago he rekindled my interest in magic by selling me a few tricks at Aloha fleamarket. Around 1993 I told him I was leaving the island and he gave me a few tricks for free. I haven't seen him ...

In response to Glenn Farrington's comment about Anderson/Heirloom not standing out to laypeople; my girlfriend remembered only two things from the show. One was Heirloom and the other was the floating credit card. Two days after the show she asked me how Heirloom was done. Just tossing that out as a...

This is a very simple, nice idea. Thanks for sharing.
