I have been waiting for over a year for a resolution to an order I placed with Circle City Magic in June of 2009. The item was out of stock, but when I placed the order I got the usual confirmation notice in my email saying the order had been processed. It didn't include any notation that the item w...

Greg McNeil

That would be news to me and I live right outside Indy in the Greenwood area. There are several other magicians from around this area on this board who may know. I hope one could reply with any information. We do have Circle City Magic (Chris Wilcox) who posts here often. It is an internet only bus...

For Sale: Peavey PVI VHF Wireless Headset Mic Systems These are nice wireless headset mic systems. I have two for sale, like new. I've only used them once on stage and a few times in the studio. They sound very good for singing, and they're great for speaking. Excellent equipment for just about the ...

If you haven't committed to attending this convention yet, you have just a couple more days to decide. And the NOAA weather report for Saturday, April 25, is mostly sunny, high in the lower 80s. Very nice.

So, Greg, what you are saying is that it is perfectly acceptable to trash reputable magic businesses all over forums if you need to suck up to a crook to complete a deal! No, sir. I'm not saying that at all. In fact I think it's highly objectionable to have one's criticism censored on a forum simpl...

Greg McNeil

Okay, you've probably noticed we have Ken Scott doing a night-before lecture, Friday evening before the actual convention on Saturday. He's also performing in our evening show on Saturday, the 25th. If you haven't seen him, you'll like him. Lots of funny material. But here's the news: I received an ...

Greg McNeil

The princesswood cups were a disgusting endeavor, and basically a self-proclaimed ripoff of Brett's cups. What made it worse were the people on the cafe, seeing 2 sets of cups that were virtually identical, professing that there was no resemblance. That really told you who was who and where they st...

Seems we have a little glitch in our club's PayPal, so the online registration and PayPal address isn't working properly. If anyone is having trouble setting up a registration, please email me or send a PM. I'll work out something.

The Central Illinois Magic Get-Together will take place on Saturday, April 25, 2009, here in Peoria, Illinois. This is a popular, one-day convention, held annually for about 32 years. I put together a flyer for this event in PDF format that you can download and print. It lists pretty much all the pe...

The Tenyo ones seem to show up on eBay every month or two, and usually end up selling for $10 to $20 depending on condition. Also you can try Googling: Tenyo What's Next You should get dozens of hits. You can buy them new through several dealers for about $22 to $26. I have several Tenyos, the oldes...

I posted a description of one type of shill bidding on another magic forum, and decided to post a copy of the same material here... When considering placing a bid on eBay, always check the bid history on the item. If there are canceled bids, you might want to be wary of the integrity of the seller. ...

Greg McNeil

Thanks for the link, Richard . I've spotted several magic items over the past few years that were, how shall we say, "misrepresented". I've emailed the seller in some cases to get a verification or correction. Most times this has met with some success, or at least positive responses. I hav...

Unusual Dice Stacking Cup... This cup is well made from a single layer of sturdy leather with a flat, stitched bottom and a smooth light brown finish. The inside is almost black with a suede finish. It is slightly smaller than most cups, 3 inches tall and 2-1/2 inches in diameter. The opening is abo...

I acquired a few sets of quality linking rings to assemble a particular combination for a special purpose. Now I have several rings left over that I won't use, including the set of four needed for Whit Haydn's Comedy Ring Routine. This versatile set, a standard key, a single, and a linked double, ca...

I'm glad you've joined in on this tabberone. The information on your web site is very thorough. I know that many people on this forum use eBay a lot. Even the people who haven't encountered this sort of problem should go read over your ten commandments page, just in case a situation like this jumps ...

Available on eBay (#6528108218): Very nice leather Ireland Dice Stacking Cup with dice. This cup originally sold, probably in the 1960s, through Ireland Magic in Chicago, before they became Magic, Inc. The auction includes a set of 5 matching casino dice, used but in excellent shape. You also get a ...

With all due respect to the opinions contrary to my own, I'd like to make this contribution to the subject. To my way of thinking, which has often been seen as too practical (is there such a thing?), the advice of a coin collector would only be valid if we are keeping these coins as part of a collec...

One more reason to stop at Dallas's... Andy and Wes are a couple of the most professional and helpful magic shop guys in the business. I haven't dropped in for a Saturday session yet, but (even though I'm not a big fan of Mexican food) I just might make the hour-n-a-half drive for that one of these ...

And here are a couple excerpts from a review of the concert that appeared in The Cleveland Plain Dealer on February 21, 1976... ... "Black magician, Chuck Dent, came out first, produced pigeons out of thin air, then moved four small empty boxes around the stage. He suddenly stacked the boxes an...

I found a copy of the program for the live concert tour of Majikat in '76. It shows the magicians as a group called The Magicats who were listed as Charles Dent, Cathy Shoppe, and Greg Smith.

I had the good fortune of seeing Irv Weiner perform a platform act in a recital hall at a small college in the late 70's (early 80's?). There were only a few hundred people in the audience. The show was very well received. I recall his style was bold and dynamic. His magic was solid and very cleanly...

A friend just informed me he wants to unload a heap of Linking Ring magazines. He's willing to give them away and only wants what it costs to ship/mail them.

This is not my eBay auction item. I just ran across it in a search. This Two-Headed Quarter is quite different from the normal machined and assembled magicician's prop. It might be of interest to someone who wants to own it as a simple curiosity. Here's the link... <a class="postlink" href...

These aren't my eBay auctions. I just happened to find them and noticed they have very few views on the hit counters. They are various pamphlet type books put out as advertising material by various companies in the early part of the 20th century. They won't last much longer so go take a look if you ...

Greg McNeil

Yes, I would include free delivery for $150,000. In fact I would deliver it personally... and let them keep my '97 Blazer that I used as the delivery vehicle. ;)

It's hard to tell when an inspiration will coincide with the time to pursue another project. Mike, I have added your name to my list of contacts, and will try to let you know if I come up with anything new. Thanks for asking. I do have a couple of one-of-a-kind type wands I made years ago.
