The Genii Forum

I had the pleasure of seeing Chad do this live last weekend in Kouvola, Finland.

One thing that might not be obvious from the video is how visual it is even from some distance away: the colors pop out extremely well against the gray border.

Need shipping to Europe (Finland.) Will pay a fair price.

Still looking for these.

Need shipping to Finland, Europe. Will pay a fair price.

FWIW, I would pre-order Mr. Jennings Takes It Easy.

Deal pending, thanks to those who spread the word.

Still looking, willing to pay a somewhat stupid price.

I have yet to receive the issue, but I for one am glad that true background is revealed. While I'm certain the trick is an excellent one that Mr. Fields would have been proud of, in general undisclosed misattributions are called forgeries -- and I'm pretty sure you would not credit a trick to Hofzin...

Still looking, willing to pay a semi-outrageous price.

Still looking for this, and willing to pay a good price.

Will pay a fair price for the third volume of "the Nash trilogy", Sleight Unseen by Stephen Minch. Need shipping to Finland.

It's probably a trivial snafu: the secure server is still there, but login doesn't take you to it.

Edit the URL by hand to start with "https" instead of "http" and you should be good to go.

I tried to get out, but they pulled me back in... Or try culling and stacking 3 hands of four of a kind from a slug that is not on the top or the bottom of the deck using a riffle shuffle technique. Glenn, it's called a block transfer. It is neither new nor rocket science: http://www.youtube.com/wa...

I look forward to seeing Nikodemus and Cugel post a video of culling and stacking four of a kind from a slug. Right, 'cos no one is allowed to critique things they cannot duplicate. There you go, then: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88h646CssHs It's far from perfect, but at least there should be no...

We've all been here before. For those of you who have NOT, this is how it goes. 1. Mr B. posts a video of some crappy shuffle work based on the Triumph-shuffle. 2. People try to more-or-less-gently point out some issues with it. 3. Mr B. tells how he has been working on this for 20 years and how it ...

The Georgio Letters by Tony Giorgio, IIRC initially part of the Intermission in Genii Magicana. Started around volume 54 (early 90s.) A column or a series of articles by Simon Lovell in the Magigram around the same time, I think. An index in progress exists, but doesn't reach the right time period y...

I alphabetize by performer (or author/editor for collections, etc), and sort books by the same person by the original publishing date. Periodicals, including bounds collections and reprints, are kept separately, alphabetized by the name of the publication. Videos and DVDs are kepth with the books, a...

Some potential issues with anonymity are * the increased danger of bad behaviour and flaming: people are lot more likely to act like total asses when their names are not attached to what they are doing. * sock puppetry, but so far that doesn't seem the case here, and it can be controlled by controll...

I need to check, but I think Gene Anderson's Newspaper Magic has something.

I believe David Parr's take on the bill transposition originally appeared in his book "Brain Food", which is still in print.

Robert Neale and Whit Haydn both have said interesting things on this topic. (To add to the names already mentioned.) One thing maybe worth considering is that the results produced by whatever is believed to be "Real Magic" are not unexplainable -- they are "just" magic. That is ...

The site certificate for fasdiu.com has expired, and emails to the contact address given on the site bounce -- as do the postmaster and webmaster addresses (never a good sign.) If someone is in contact with Mr. Cummins, then appraising him of the situation would probably be in order. ...or alternati...

Can you tell how Sankey's work here compares to Peter Kane's original The Ring in The Card Case, or Gary Plants work on the same? The first is basically a loadable card box with a rattle (published in Another Card Session With Peter Kane), the latter I am not familiar with but believe to be a more s...

Where can I post my review on the product that I bought?

R. Paul Wilson is also selling another (?) version of his 3 Fly -- "Completely Crowded!" -- on his website. See http://www.rpaulwilson.com/ .

I'm currently working on my Triumph, so this was of some interest to me -- not the stacking bit as such, but the deceptiveness of Glenn's handling of the Triumph Shuffle itself. I wanted to know how a layman would see Glenn's shuffle. I played it to a friend from 0:17 to the deal, without commentary...

Here is the original context, so that those of you unfamiliar with the brilliance that is XKCD have a chance to see more then a single comic...
