I seem to remember seeing somewhere that Earl performed a version of Germain’s Cards in Glass (where the chosen cards come to the front when covered be a handkerchief). Does anyone know anything about this?

I have been performing my own presentation for Dr. Jaks’ Scarab routine for quite some time. It uses a Brainwave deck.

A friend passed away last year and left me his magic collection. There are two Clarence Miller items, one of which appears to be a rattle box. It seems that it might somehow open, but I can't figure out how it works: he left no instructions.

If you have an answer on this, PM me.

It has been nearly six weeks since Eugene passed away, and I thought I was finally coming to grips with it. I read the tribute tonight and realized there is so much more time and healing needed... He had such a profound impact on me and on my magic; I'm just so thankful I had the chance to tell him ...

“... Don't listen to those voices who assure you that if a routine is in print it isn't stealing to do it. Yes, it's true, if a routine is in print then it is not stealing, but if you do it the way it is written it is still copying and imitating and looking to others, rather than to ourselves, for ...

Richard Green

Sounds reasonable to me. Thanks, guys.

On Disc one, Michael performed and explained (with the glitches) what is listed as Bro. Hamman's Transposition. I believe he also performs this on Disc Two as well. This is the "Follow the Leader" type routine where he's using blue backs and red backs instead of the faces of the cards. Doe...

My subscription had lapsed right before moving, and I never got the paper copy of this issue. Having read the effect in the digital version, I'd like to have the props for the routine.

PM me if you have these, or the issue, available.

Richard Green

Richard, I'm just wondering. I read that the CDs were produced after narrowing down from over 30 hours of audio. Were the recordings not included just repetitions of things he'd already discussed, or was it a quality issue? I'm assuming that you left out a lot that wouldn't interest most magicians. ...

Richard Green

I just put in my order for this set...can't wait!! After seeing the listings of what is on this series, I'm so excited to get to hear and view the whole set. What a wonderful piece of history on one of the greatest minds in magic...thank you so much for bringing this to us, Richard.

Richard Green

I hadn't realized you were doing that, and as is usually the case, found my answer after posting.

Richard Green

Nevermind...I think I found my answer.

Richard Green

Is this just a temporary thing as they are getting loaded in? There is a huge gap between May 1951 and April 2013.

Richard Green

Just heard that Aldo is still with us...

Richard Green

Not going to mince words, folks...this really sucks...

Reports on another forum are saying that Aldo passed away. I'm searching for confirmation, praying it isn't true, but if true, this just sucks.

Richard Green

Richard, any updates on the Skinner project?

Richard Green

Dominique is one of my all-time favorite magicians, and also one who's influenced me greatly. What a wonderful surprise to read the June issue! Fantastic, Richard.

Thanks!

Richard Green

You were right; it's in the "Easy to Master" series Richard did.

Richard Green

Dustin, may have found my problem: does the BB not allow PM replies via iPad? Everytime I type a reply and hit submit, it goes to a blank, white screen.

Richard Green

Sorry...Dustin was right. I had replied to your PM but it must not have gone through. I'd had trouble getting back in during the transition, didn't think you wer replying to me, Rennie; appears you just hadn't received my reply PM.

I'll send another PM, had a question.

Richard Green

I'm looking for the May 1978 Irv Weiner cover issue, and also November 1988 with Robert Bluemle interview on Dr. Jaks. PM me if you have either available to sell.

Rick

Richard Green

Never mind...got it elsewhere.

Richard Green

Sent you a PM...

Richard Green

I had the same problem about a month ago, finally connected with someone that had a used copy; you'll just need to keep searching for a used one, most likely won't find it new.

Good luck!

Richard

Richard Green

Jim, you were right. I just looked at the wrong listing. Thanks.

Richard Green

Well, crap...thought I'd found a lot; now you've REALLY got my curiosity up, Richard!

If anyone can help with this, I'd greatly appreciate it. (Starting to feel like I need Nicholas Cage from "National Treasure" to help!)

I just received a wonderful gift from a friend: a DVD with Michael's two appearances on The Tonight Show!

Richard, after watching those, I completely understood what you meant about seeing Michael in his hey-day...beautiful stuff.

Richard Green

Well, after some extensive searching, I think I've found something: Sam Schwartz's routine, "Transfer and Follow" in Epilogue. The "Transfer" part of the routine is extremely close, almost identical.

Richard Green

Ok, I goofed; they weren't jokers...just four red backed cards and four blue backed cards. He used spot cards, not that it really matters.

Richard Green

Didn't know if it would or not; thanks for letting me know, Richard. I think that I might be able to work out some type handling if I put my mind to it.

Richard Green

Didnt know if maybe Richard K. or Gary Plants might know this; anyone can answer if they know. On Legendary Repertoire of Michael Skinner 3, he performs a cards across/ progressive transposition routine using eight jokers: four red back and four blue back. If youre familiar with his performance of t...

If Jeff has a great price, I'd recommend snatching these up; they're priceless. I agree, ernasephile - a large Skinner volume would be fantastic. However, after watching these videos over and over, it's amazing at how much of his main performing repertoire was straight out of the classics. It was hi...

Richard Green

My mistake. Upon further investigation, the pencil through bill was not in any of his lecture notes.

I am still looking for a good deal on these two dvds.

Richard Green

I'm looking for a copy of the Vanni Bossi lecture notes that include his instructions for the Pencil through the Bill.

Also, if you have a copy of either of his dvds - either the Greater Magic Video Library dvd or the International Magic dvd - and the price is reasonable, contact me.

Trying to move this quickly: now only $55.

Richard Green

Price drop: $60

I've had the set for over a year, and it has seen a little use but not much; they are in good condition. Unfortunately, I do not have the miniature tennis balls; this is only the three cups, 4 crocheted balls and the bag. Asking $70, s&h included. <a class="postlink" href="http://www.e...

I'm going by Sam's tomorrow, I'll have to pick up a new case.
