Thanks Steve. The price tag, and fear that it could sound like a boom box have witheld me from purchasing. Unless of course someone owns one and says it aint so.

Or is it insufficient for purposes of voice amplification and you end up with more speakers anyway?

Re: Looking for Badly Designed Kids Entertainer Websites
What about displaying one's fees on the website? Good or bad idea? Personally I think its a good idea if its kids birthday parties or school assembly shows you are aiming for. Corporate, Im not so sure. Ive also seen websites whch says the fee varies between x and y, that to me is not a good idea.

Nice idea JT.

Re: Run Silent Run Deep by Ben Harris
E Books from a personal perspective induces impulse buying, as it's instantly available. My worst impulse buy was 'Head of shoulders illusion' at 50 quid.
But that would be good value compared to the $75 plus required for 'a lame 8-card force' (BF) on offer by Mr Harris.

Re: Run Silent Run Deep by Ben Harris
I see the author in his blurb for RSRD refers to the 'best seller' Silent Running.
Hence the quiz question, what in Magicland constitutes a 'best seller' for a book/ e book
a. 500 to 1000.
b. 1000 to 2000.
c. 2000 or more.
d. whatever you want it to be.
