Berglas and Nyman need new homes

Hi guys. Trying to find a home for these two collector's books. The first has been known to change hands for a thousand dollars. The latter five hundred or more. So you can see these prices are fair. These are duplicates from my library. I don't want to hall all of this stuff across the Tasman when ...

Re: Canada Goes for Plastic Currency

lol. More like the 1980's. The plastic bills (our plasticized versions now include the $5, $10, $20 and $50-- along with the $100) are a discipline all of their own. Hard to crease for instance. Can be a problem, but you work around it. They all have clear plastic windows--a wonderful opportunity to...

Re: Hold 'Em Magic

And, as Don's video performance shows, you DO NOT have to follow dealing protocol to create hold 'em magic. (Something that I am criticized for with PSI-POKER [2011] which has a dealing discrepancy). I would bet that the majority of effects in Tom's new book will NOT follow exact dealing protocol. I...

Re: Psi-Poker by Ben Harris

Seasoned Hold 'em players are not the intended audience. So that should be kept in mind. This never has been pitched as a hard-core hold 'em demo. It's an EASY TO DO and neato prediction effect, that's all. The fact that the POKER hand is played out from a "recollected dream" (or state of ...

You see, you've done it again. Your script (let's call it that) is NOT SR at all. You've missed the point. That's NOTHING like how it should be constructed and I think you know that.
