Rene was recognized by his city, Tandil, a beautiful town in the middle of Buenos Aires province "The Municipality of Tandil decreed three days of mourning following the death of Hector Rene Lavandera, world-renowned artist known as René Lavand, cultural ambassador Tandil, an example of life. T...

A considerable weight has been given to M.D. Smith words, but has anybody thought of him as the real author not just the illustrator? Has anybody investigated his familiarity with a deck pf cards? Do we have examples of his writing? Could he be Erdnase with his real identity hidden in plain sight?

Luis

I don't know. Finding the guy's name perfectly spelled out seems to be possibly more than a coincidence. Has anyone played around with moving the lines and trying to find any of the other "Sanders-ish" things Jason has cited as possible points of false interest? Are there any other names ...

Mr. Benatar:

The translation will be published by Laura Aviles or by someone else?

Got mine today.

In page 38 of the May issue of Genii, Tony Giorgio says that most of the material in Erdnase is mythology, and that real hustlers laugh at it. He also refers to his articles about the subject. I wonder what is your reaction about these comments. I also would appreciate if anyone could tell me when t...

Is Rene Lavand's material the basis for "The Misteries of my Life"?

Is that material previously unpublished?

Luis

Got mine on the 23rd.

Rules are to be followed, if we don't like them, we should change them.
If I were the schmuck at the SAM convention,no one would enter without a pass, or without a tie at the Castle, no matter if he is Blaine, Copperfield, George Bush or....Richard Kaufman. :D

Got mine yesterday, July 16.

I have asked this already in another thread, but no one answered.
Did anyone see Scarne cutting to the aces from a borrowed deck?
It is true that he fooled the best crooked gamblers when he was only 19?

I would appreciate any information.

Pete:

Sorry Pete, mine arrived at Chatsworth on 4/20/02

Luis

My copy has smudging or ink coming off on my fingersm specially in the left side.

Luis

I received my copy today at the Northwestern corner of the San Fernando Valley

Luis

To both Petes:

Guys, since I got my copy on the 23rd, I know now that Chatsworth is the most magical side of the valley. :D

Luis

Robert: You have very good points, a library is totally different from the selling of pirate copies. When you said This has been a commonly accepted practice for quite a while if you think about the long lost Library of Ephesus. You probably meant the Library of Alexandria in Egypt supposedly incine...

Luis

Great answers guys!!!!!

This subject was troubling me for some time.
Apparently in many countries the selling of copies is so common, that is discussed openly, and no one seems to have a second thought about it.

Pete, why don't you steal two cars, and give one to charity? :D

Luis

Received my copy today.

Luis

In a Spanish speaking forum, there was a discussion about the sale of pirate copies of videos, a common practice in the magic shops of Argentina. Even though the conversation was about the Argentinean market, I think the same can be said about many other countries. One magician made the following po...

Luis

Does anybody knw where the Pat "Conway Rope Trick" is published?

Luis

I completely agree with keeping everything, except may be incidental posts, but to search for them will probably harder than keeping everything.

Somebody suggested that items like "David Blaine on t.v. tonight at 7:30" should be deleted. What about deleting David Blaine too? :p

I received the January Issue on 12/20/01

I received my copy on November 19th.

Rene Lavand's routines are great, but his methods are far from sleightless, he has developed his own sleights for one hand, it will take some time and effort to master them. By the way his name is spelled Lavand with an a. (a short form of his real last name, Lavandera) [ November 14, 2001: Message ...

Luis

Jose Muiz will publish, some of Harvey Rosenthal's card material in November, as a one man issue of his magazine EGO.

Luis

Thomas:

I think you are talkimg about Magic from the Soul published by Magic Words, in pages 71-72 he describes the two hands displacement,(or to Slow Motion Magic published by Frakson)

In Richard's book The Mysteries of my Life p.75 the one hand displacement is explained.null

Luis

You can read Scarne's own story at http://scarne.freeservers.com/
the chapter on cutting the aces is called "Fooling the Card Sharks"

Luis

John Scarne claimed that when he was 19, he was able to fool some of the best card sharps of his time using their deck to cut to the aces hundreds of times for one straight week.
Is that true?
Has anybody seen Scarne performing this?
