WooHoo . . . today when I checked it offered me the opportunity to preorder . . . Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

Got it ordered and looking forward to reading MME!!!

Thx Richard and all of those that helped.

Hi, Mark: The website seems to work for me. Maybe clearing the cache on your browser might help? https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-clear-cache-2617980 I'd like to report that this solved the problem and I got it ordered . . . unfortunately I cannot report that. I tried this both from my PC and my lap...

This is what I see and get when I try to order.

Mark Tams

My wife, who created the website, tells me that she fixed the problem with Totally Out of Control and it can now be ordered.

Richard . . . when I click on TOOCMME and try to order, it still says "Sold Out".

Mark Tams

Totally Out of Control MME already sold out?

Mark Tams

A move is only a move.
It's what you do with it that can make it important.

Like!

Mark Tams

It did look to be a nice well produced book.

It IS a very nice and well produced book!

Very glad I got it . . . and . . . that I spent the extra buckola on the computer-generated/auto-pen signature!

Mark Tams

What if the purchase price was $1 more for the book . . . and you got a free autograph with the purchase of the book. Yet the autograph that was free was done by autopen . . .

Would you be pissed then?

Perspective

Mark Tams

I think it's perfectly understandable that there are people who would want to return even a beautiful book when they place significant value on having the author's signature, and were induced to buy it based, at least in part, on the express representation that it was "autographed" by DC,...

Mark Tams

I think my signed book is beautiful, regardless of how it is signed. I purchased the book . . . not necessarily the signature. The pics, layout and much of the script I am enjoying reading. I get the collectors thang' . . . but why would someone want to return a beautiful book with lots of historica...

Mark Tams

The arrogance to think you will be missed.

Love this GREAT comment!!!

And . . . Hahahahahahahahahahaha

Mark Tams

I took the necessary COVID-19 precautions by letting my wife open the parcel and then I removed the book.

Now that's some funny shat'!!!

Mark Tams

Received yesterday . . . now with a book of this magnitude that states "Takes It Easy" . . . how do I "take it easy" with this sitting in front of me? I wanna read every page . . . RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!

Here's to not taking it easy as the search begins.

Aldo had one with different colored pom poms.

Where was Aldo's printed? Thx!

Thanks, but back pain didn't start until 1998. I just got sick of sitting in the dark and drawing.
I don't hold the high opinion of my drawings that others seem to. To me they are, at best, just functional.

Steve: I must disagree.

I agree with Steve that he disagrees!

Edge marking?

They are far easier to read than the pompous original post in this thread. Where were you (collective nit-pickers) when the pages were blank? Is it so much easier to criticise than to be creative. No apology is being offered by me for any of the grammatical or spelling mistakes in this post. Word o...

Mark Tams

I'd like to suggest a more accurate description for these people: Flankers (for "flourish wankers").

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

Mark Tams

Look-see what just delivered to me . . . yaaaaaaaaaaay!!!

I will work hard to get orders out on Monday and you will get tracking information from me.

Thank you for your business and have a great weekend!!!

I am currently in pre-print release mode for the updated Triple Threat Master Works 2.0 book and it runs through February 15th, 2020. Some of you may have heard about the release of an expanded version . . . and for those that have not, below will tell all about it. All purchases received on or befo...

I think this thread serves a very important point in time. Several years back, we called certain close-up performers . . . jugglers. Now through the evolution of time and sincere opinions, we now have a name of this type of performance . . . Cardistry. It fits, it's correct and it's here to stay. I ...

IMO . . . I think part of what helps is that he uses Todd's coins. That coupled with dollar sized (weight) I believe plays a partial role in this.

Shin Lim’s magic is designed to be experienced on a screen. It’s ideal for Instagram. He deserves great credit for being a master of that venue. But it doesn’t play on a stage for more than about 5 minutes. I’ve seen him live - and without that screen it’s just a guy who’s throwing [censored] behin...

Mark Tams

Bloody heck, I actually agree with Brad

In other news, it's a bit chilly in Hades tonight...

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

Mark Tams

Thanks for pointing that out . . . I've not seen that take on it. I'm a fan of Martin's material . . . and more importantly am grateful that I got to meet him a few times before his passing.

Mark Tams

Take 2019 by the balls and swing 'em around your head.

Thanks Richard for the idea . . . as I've gotten older, this feat will be much easier to do!

Mark Tams

It’s been 10+ years since the release of the 3t coin book on the Triple Threat Coin Gimmick. Since that time, the original book has gone out of print. Over these 10+ years, there has been new material that has been created since that time. I am currently in the process of gathering new material as I...

Very enjoyable!!!

Thx for sharing.

"El juego de Dolores" can be found in "The magic of Ascanio - Studies of card magic" under the name "Dolores's Trick". Gabi's version was first published in his book "Secuencias" and later republished in "La depuración constante de lo mismo". Hope t...

Mark Tams

As an aside note, my favourite asymmetric transposition is Arturo de Ascanio's El Juego de Dolores (also known as Hotel Mystery) followed by Gabi's corollary.

Where are these two items found?

Thx!

Mark Tams

As Richard noted in the So Sato thread . . . So Sato's handling of All Backs is both different and beautiful!

Mark Tams

This video was a blessing in surprise to me rather recently. I have told the story for years about the 1 time I met Dai Vernon and how I got my ass kicked by him. I was very, very new to magic. I was attending the Midwest Magic Jubilee in St. Louis and there was a lecture that I wanted to sit on the...

I've broken the effects down that utilize gaffs and which gaffs they are. I was surprised by just how few gaffs are needed and/or gaffs that are simple to make or we as magicians already have. Here is a list of gaffs needed that we already have or a bit of glue and you can make them at home: - Doubl...

Tom, thank you for bringing this to everyone's attention. It's a shame this thread got hijacked to talk about anything other than Circuit. It would be nice if those thoughts could be posted in a new thread and we could stay on point about Circuit. I have been lucky enough to know Zach for several ye...

Sad to see this book for sale, should be on every close up person's shelf!
