Let's please avoid spoilers here at least for the next week until everyone has received their copies.

Richard Kaufman

It's a free market: get over it.

Richard Kaufman

Received my books today! WOW! I am in love.

Hahahaha. That will be funny.

Richard Kaufman

It's not Hoffmann!

Richard Kaufman

No one would know the answer to this question at this point.

A customer who brings a job in for printing, pays, then picks it up a month later has almost no relationship with the printer.

Richard Kaufman

Can we please avoid acronyms and abbreviations that confuse rather than clarify?

Richard Kaufman

I don't believe the city is improving. There is no employment, no one has money to spend, closed shops. Blight.

Al had heart surgery last year and is still recovering.

Over 4,000? Really?

Magic Inc put it all in one volume. It's pretty simple to buy the original booklets. You might email Gabe Fajuri at Potter and Potter.

Richard Kaufman

I'm getting Mr. Jennings Take It Easy ready for layout. The final step, which is where I'm at right now, is putting in the corrections from the three proofreaders. You have NO idea how many times I've been over this manuscript over the past 30 years, and there are still lots of mistakes to be correc...

Pavel the no-so-great was Mr. Keyes, should there have been any doubt, and he has been banned again.

Richard Kaufman

Peter, if you continue to make derogatory remarks about someone else who is contributing to this thread in your posts you will indeed go into hibernation.

Richard Kaufman

Performer, thanks, great to see what works in the world. Any opinion of Gary Kurtz's handling of the sleight? Kurtz's thinking, and subsequently his handling, was interesting. I was fortunate to spend some time with him at one of the Atlanta Harvest of Magic conventions in the late 80s or early 90s...

I have an unusual handling of the Top Change that will, of course, fool laymen. But it also has fooled the magicians to whom I've shown it. I felt it might be unnatural and asked Vernon about it. He said it would be perfectly natural if I did something before it. Will probably put it in Greater Mag...

There are many reasons to buy Steve Forte's book, including what will probably be the most insightful analysis of the contents of the book ever put on paper. But Steve writes nothing about which candidate he thinks it might be, nor does he introduce a new candidate. Steve's book is about other thing...

No one has been able to locate it.

Richard Kaufman

Greg, McBride and Lancaster were just repeating what they heard from Vernon, or second hand from Vernon. It proves nothing.

Richard Kaufman

The Oscar segment honors film actors, not TV actors. Conrad's career was almost entirely in television, except for a few pedestrian films.

Richard Kaufman

Harmington predates Cardini as well, however it is certainly possible that two people independently discovered split fans.

Richard Kaufman

I'm not more worthy than anyone else. Frankly, I'm surprised I got them at that price.
When one studies Hofzinser's sleights, it is imperative to handle a deck that is as close as possible to what he used.

Richard Kaufman

No finish from the printer. But the deck of Hofzinser's which he used, which I was able to play with for a few minutes, had something applied to it so it spread smoothly. Fans, culls, etc., no problem.

Richard Kaufman

That would be me. In my ongoing studies of Hofzinser's card material, I have long looked for a deck of cards identical to those he used. I once held a deck he actually did use, which was put into my hand by Volker Huber. Thought it was time to own one.

Richard Kaufman

The difference is in the text on the ltd edition page, and the much smaller limitation in the numbering. For example, 8 of 20. The contents are otherwise identical to the deluxe edition upon its initial release, which includes the glassine envelope of memorabilia in the book. The unnumbered deluxe e...

It has become well known that the least reliable type of evidence is eye-witness testimony. I don't see anything that Smith said as having much value, and like most inaccurately remembered eye-witness testimony, it only serves to divert people from focusing on more valuable information.

Old custom decks from the USPCC that were made for a friend (varnished, not plastic coated), and Greater Magic.

Harry Kellar was famous for having no digital ability as a magician.

Richard Kaufman

Erdnase was Harry Kellar.

Richard Kaufman

Well, Roterberg was German, so there's your "earth nose."

Second link no luck, but the first link actually works for me.

That link doesn't work, either.

I've never seen the circular change before. It needs some cover. I've been doing The Eidetic Change since I read it in Genii over 40 years ago. Fools the hell out of people.

Richard Kaufman

I'm always pleased to see another publisher or author, who is a friend, have a sterling success like this!
