Re: The Coney Island Fakir Released on Kindle!
Experimenting with my wife's kindle, I realized I can take any PDF and just copy it to the kindle from my PC. Looks like you can do the same with music. Some of the PDFs are not "kindle-ready", it seems, as the text is so small, it's extremely difficult to read. I didn't see an option to m...

Re: The Coney Island Fakir Released on Kindle!
How does one get book like this onto the kindle?
I heard that Erdnase was also available for the kindle... but how?
My wife has a Kindle and I'd like to fill it full of magic stuff.

Coin Bag
Someone wanted me to make a small coin bag so instead of designing something new, just made one of our cups and balls bags shorter and added it to my website. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://theambitiouscard.com/aitem.cfm?itemid=89">http://theambitiouscard.com/aitem.cfm?itemid=89</a><!-- ...

Re: RIP Jim Cellini
I will never forget Jim closing his lecture in SF performing his 2-Ring routine to "Somewhere over the Rainbow". It was beautiful.
He knew how to entertain a crowd.
Even with something as simple as a silk and a TT, there was beauty, elegance and laughter.

The princesswood cups were a disgusting endeavor, and basically a self-proclaimed ripoff of Brett's cups.

Re: Rings 'N' Thing II going belly up
When the website says "in stock, ready to ship", a month is a long time. Combined with no communication it is a hell of a long time.
I made a trade with RNT2 a couple years ago and never received anything in return. I stopped holding my breath a long time ago.
