Thank you, David!

The description of the Hooker Rising Cards will be updated for correctness. One of Hooker's greatest tricks was routining things in such a way that it was extremely difficult to later recall exactly what you saw.

Richard Kaufman

Most magic dealers sell copies. You find them at magic conventions all over the country.

Richard Kaufman

Bruce just respected the old man so much.

Richard Kaufman

Not true, Bill.
Knowing Vernon, he would not have been standing out in the opening doing his latest invention. He turned his back on most people back then. So he may have done it for Houdini in a hallway when no one else, or only a few friends, were around.

Richard Kaufman

Mustache: I suggest you join the Tenyo Facebook Group administered by Angelo Carbone.

Richard Kaufman

Only tricks. Not puzzles, banks, jigsaw puzzles, etc.

Richard Kaufman

I've never seen this. It will be extremely difficult to find in the US. Look in Japan.

Richard Kaufman

Should be able to post it soon.
The dealers room is open to everyone (not just magicians attending the convention).

Richard Kaufman

David Ben will know the date from Vernon's letters.

Richard Kaufman

And you succeed, much to the dismay of many.

Richard Kaufman

I saw it, Denis. It could also just be a misprinted card.

Richard Kaufman

Yes, a fair question and I have no problem with it.

Houdini knew DeLand and likely had his marketed items. Thus Houdini had access to double backed cards. DeLand reinvented the double backed card. His Two Card Monte and Inverto are the first uses of the card since Hofzinser half a century earlier. I have read or heard that Finley brought the double b...

Working on it!

Richard Kaufman

Joe, you are blathering. Please stop.

Richard Kaufman

I think he did fool Teller.

Richard Kaufman

Brad, what are you intimating?

Richard Kaufman

Many people speak highly of the book now, but it sold very poorly in its first edition.

Richard Kaufman

Meir Yedid sells Fast and Loose.

Richard Kaufman

Ian, I have a terrible memory and am atrocious at math. So there.

Richard Kaufman

But you can understand, Ian, why they think that. Well, perhaps you don't understand that!

Richard Kaufman

Mr. Charming has departed the building.

Richard Kaufman

No he isn't.

Richard Kaufman

It's both a gift and a burden.

Richard Kaufman

Please include all of your information as required by the rules of the Marketplace.

Richard Kaufman

Yikes!

Richard Kaufman

If such a letter exists, that would not end speculation. The person who wrote the letter may have been fibbing, or the person who claimed to be Erdnase may have been fibbing. Who knows?

It will be discussed in the Jennings books, but the most essential element is that your misdirection is vertical, not horizontal.

Richard Kaufman

I pay for the Washington Post!

Richard Kaufman

If you perform for small groups of people who are standing, then hands at waist level is good.

Richard Kaufman

That Double Lift certainly looks David Ben's.

Richard Kaufman

Seeing Tom in person will make your head hurt.

Richard Kaufman

The 20th.

Richard Kaufman

I can only speak for myself as an Aspie. I do what I like to do (that includes work), watch what I like to watch, go where I like to go, and socialize with people I know and am comfortable with. That's how I've learned to live with it and not go nuts. It helps immensely to have a sainted and underst...

Richard Kaufman

The bonus effect will be released as the final item, I believe.

Richard Kaufman

Thank you, Professor.

Richard Kaufman

In order for people to remember specific tricks, you can only do TWO, tops. Each with entire different and crystal clear plots.

Richard Kaufman

Bill, your comments are interesting because at least three other people told me the close-up was fantastic. But I can understand the fire alarm causing a ruckus.
