The Genii Forum

Due to the need for more room, I am selling ~300 issues of The Sphinx. They range from Volume 19 #2 (April 1920) to Volume 43 #3 (May 1944), but do not include every issue in-between. Condition varies widely some issues are in fantastic shape others are falling apart. Most early issues and some late...

I've got three items that I've just posted on eBay:

Bob,

Thanks for the idea.

Bob -- yes, the U.S. jokers have the initials U.S. in the corners rather than the pentagram. While I could certainly do the trick with U.S. jokers, I like the touch of the pentagram.

I'm just now getting around to reading my October Genii. I immediately went to work on this routine and am wondering if anyone has a suggestion for how to get a Canadian Bicycle deck south of the border. Thank you Mr. Tobin for your additional work on "Satan is my Buddy" Sincerely, Stefan ...

When I turn anything over side for side it stays the same. When I turn anything over end for end it changes. I too do not see an anomaly.

Stefan Fisher

Thanks for the warning.

Received February in Santa Clara, CA on Feb. 12. Looks like a great issue.

Who else might fit the criteria of great American magicians deserving to be put on a stamp? My choices would be: Al Baker Dai Vernon (born in Canada, but lived most of his life in the U.S.) Alexander Herrmann (born in Europe, but lived most of his life in the U.S.) Adelaide Herrmann (It would be gre...

:) I'd love to see such a set of stamps. We got the Houdini one a couple of years ago, so we might not get another of him. Also it took a lot of hard work to get the post office to agree to that stamp. Anyone know the official submission process?

For a very different take on performing magic for children you might want to look at Bringing the Wonder of Magic to Children by Brother Shadow (AKA Carl Herron). It was originally published in the December 2003 issue of Linking Ring and is also available from Brother Shadow (broshad@aol.com).

The thing that I like most about Kalin and Jinger is that they are true partners on stage. Jinger is so much more than just an assistant. In fact on Grand Illusions: The Story of Magic (part 2) DVD, Kalin tells a story about knowing that they were succeeding in what they were attempting to achieve w...

I received my copy yesterday (10/2) here in sunny Santa Clara. Looks like a great issue. The glossy "Genii Wrap" is better than the matte.

Stefan Fisher

Stefan Fisher

It appears that the listings are back on E-bay.

Stefan Fisher

I vote no on the Genii Wrap as well.

Stefan Fisher

I thoroughly enjoyed reading the article on Allan Slaight. He's had a fascinating life. I was curious whether the dollar amounts indicated were U.S. or Canadian dollars? In any case he's been very successful both as a magician and businessman.

To paraphrase Jamy Ian Swiss: exposure is not an ethical issue, but it is bad theater.

Stefan Fisher

Magic Inc. doesn't have them anymore.

I'm looking for a "Voodoo Puppet Puncture" made by Michael Schwabe and marketed by Magic Inc. a few years ago. Does anyone out there have one that they'd want to sell?

Stefan Fisher

If anywhere near Reno go to Kalin and Jinger's Magic Underground. It is a truly fantastic show in a near perfect venue. Heck if not near Reno go to Reno and see it.

Stefan Fisher

I'm an actor working for a theatre company that primarily performs for children.

Stefan Fisher

Next time you're going to Nevada to see some magic, skip Vegas and head for Reno to see Kalin and Jinger's "Magic Underground". I saw the show last night and it is absolutely FANTASTIC. Beautiful intimate venue which allows them to perform both large illusions and "parlor magic" ...

According to MyMagic Headline News #8 Meir Yedid is releasing this tomorrow.

I recently had the pleasure of buying one of Mark Burger's 2-in-1 wands. Not only is the wand beautiful but I was treated to some of the best customer service I have ever experienced. I highly recommend House of Magic in San Francisco and Mr. Burger. :)

Stefan Fisher

First of all, if you're in Las Vegas, see Mac King if at all possible. The show is very funny and full of great magic.

I've been to the Denny and Lee shop in LV and found the staff very knowledgeable and friendly. Same for Planet of Mirth.

Stefan Fisher

The Violet Book was the last published (1980) and along with the Yellow book seems to be harder to find than the other three.

Stefan Fisher

Also I'd make sure that your purchase includes the horoscope "booktest" book and the erratum sheet that was included with Thabbatical when it was published.

Stefan Fisher

H&R Magic is by far the best magic dealer. Amazingly fast service and so knowledgeable and helpful.

Stefan Fisher

What are your thoughts on this particular version of the time prediction effect? I am interested in it as a pocket watch would fit an idea that I have for a presentation much better than a wrist watch.

Stefan Fisher

Thanks, that helps a lot.

Stefan Fisher

Can anyone help me out here? Did Thayer ever hallmark his items "Thayer"? :help:

Stefan Fisher

I recently posted a Thayer die box on eBay. Bids were considerably lower than I expected. Can anyone help me out on why this might be? Or tell me how much a Thayer die box is worth? Thanks. :help:

Stefan Fisher

Less than 48 hours left on the Thayer Die Box.

Thank you to whoever fixed the URL in my original post.

Stefan Fisher

I am auctioning a Thayer Die Box on E-bay. It was originally owned by a gentleman who worked his way through college in the 1920s performing magic. I also have a 1970s dove pan for sale on E-bay. <a class="postlink" href="http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&user...

Less than a day left on the Green Book of Mentalism. And just over a day left on the other two.

I'm auctioning three of the Color Books of Mentalism by Phil Goldstein (AKA Max Maven) on E-Bay: Red, Blue and Green. Here's the url: web page Items on E-bay

I've performed "Really" for several people and have gotten a very positive response every time. And it's not very difficult to remember the steps, and anyways if you forget one or do them out of order it doesn'e matter (except, of course, the deal turning over every other card). One friend...

Stefan Fisher

I've got to agree. "Lucky" is absolutely fantastic. I watched the first episode twice and laughed out loud both times, and what's more I already really care about the characters. Watch this show.
