Yes, April issue arrived and a tube with 4 uncut sheets but 3 decks

I was notified a tube arrived by mail, it can just be the uncut sheets. (and a a magazine arrived too)

I will have some magic to play with on weekend

I just finished to watch the 10 episodes. It seems much better than other similar series but it remains that sensation of all of this is settled, nothing is spontaneous and there is a lot of camera / editing help. A lot of the final illusions have similar structure: something going terrible wrong ju...

I am posting this late. I'm sorry. I received the book on December 20th in Mexico City, just in time for Chrstmas, the box remained on the tree until 25th morning. The package, the cushion material, the inner box, the slipcase, the book, the deck ... all are gorgeus. Very fine book, a lot of interes...

Not in Netflix Mexico

but they made available some Derren Brown shows

I bought one second hand first edition here at the forum

Andres Reynoso

I suspected that since nobody has commented anything and I always receive US packets later.
Thank you Richard.

So, I have no idea what is in the mail waiting for me.

Andres Reynoso

I was notified that arrived at home an unusual big envelope saying I have a packet that could not be delivered. Maybe Mr DeLand or his decks are earlier than expected.
That, or flyers left door by door are on a new presentation. Or is not really for me.

Best wishes to Margret. A nice person always attending requests on e-mail. A pleasure to met her at 3 Genii Conventions and a well deserved Genii Award.

Welcome back Dustin. I've similar problems with forum. So the problem are cookies

thank you

I recently found in Netflix "The Trick Road" by Adam Trent. I haven't heard about the show before. There are 10 25-minutes episodes where Adam travels in Europe. The idea is to conect with people from other cultures, demostrating magic is an ice-breaker and lenguaje barrier is surpased wit...

Thanks, Scott--look forward to your reports! (FWIW, I just found out that MAGIC Live overlaps for a day with the Creation Official Star Trek Convention at the Rio: https://www.creationent.com/cal/st_lasvegas.html --sounds like Geek heaven in LV...) Yes erdnasephile, it was heaven :D I arrived earli...

After Magic Live I went to Los Angeles a couple of days and asked in two post offices but they didn't know the stamps. I think was too soon to have them at the offices. I was looking for the kit with deck.
On Sunday I returned to Mexico so I would search it in other channels

For a moment I thought David Ben's Magicana

Just curious. How are selected FISM judges? What profile must they have?

Andres Reynoso

I interpret "be natural" as movements don't look contrieved. The thing of make the false transfer as if you were really transfering it. If you are loading something doing it without being noticed flawlessly. This kinf of things. Oh, and logic in the movement. Why he took the cards, pass th...

FISM has never been so near. Very tempting

Andres Reynoso

Theater and dance are group endeavors, where the individual is only a component and is subordinated to the greater good and success of the company, cast or troupe. Magic is almost universally an individualistic pursuit ("The Illusionists" being one prominent exception). Thus, with magic, ...

Andres Reynoso

I want to ask your opinion in this topic. On stage arts like dance and theater is completly normal that a work be played by different performers, even works originally staged for a specific performer could be played later by another one. Is it valid in magic? I not mean copycats or "everybody p...

There is an article here by Richard Wiseman and Peter Lamont

http://www.richardwiseman.com/resources/ropeJSPR.pdf

Maybe is a first aproach to the book by Lamont.

By the way, any references to the "Hindu jugglers" ?

Andres Reynoso

Thank you Richard.

At first attempt in reservations didn't know about visiting with Genii subscription, but on subsequent call I booked.

I really enjoyed Jonathan Pendragon's article in April 2018 issue and I agree with him. Assistants are important persons into the show and not a side thing to enhance my image in front of the audience. Each assistant is valuable unique as each person is unique. Some years ago I had the fortune to sh...

I'm planning to visit the Magic Castle using my subscription. How is the dynamic? Do I call the castle and give ... name, any subscription number? For the "one visit yearly" policy, how is counted the year? calendar year (january - february) subscription year (reseting the count when renew...

So interesting thread! I remember a gaff deck by Ellusionist that included some rider back cards where the corner's angels move to one corner. I have never thought before to insert gaffs into an odd backed deck. It sounds interesting, I'm sure it can work. I not see the necesity to include a Maiden ...

Just read on GeniiOnline Magicana has said the books are officially sold out

By the way, the packet which arrived home it's the book

Andres Reynoso

I have just received a phone call from house. A post man with a mule commitive knocked the door. Yes, it must be a book. They said they didn't think it is a book because is a packet so heavy. Well, if has my name on the label just can be a book or Genii magazine, but Genii never comes in box neither...

In the 3e Scene website, part of Opera Paris, was just released the short NE ME REGARDE PAS (Don't look at me) with Phantom of the Opera theme.

When I wrote the original post I tried with Android app and could sign in perfectly.

Now I tried one more time in desktop and works fine.

I haven't yet contacted Margret.

Thnak you Richard.

I discovered yesterday that each time I click over a cover I get redirected to my account page (manage your address, etc)
I am using Chrome, today try with Explorer. Windows 10 Desktop.

It seems like a new bug

Thanks

Andres Reynoso

I have tried with my Android Smartphone and seems to work fine with Magic Magazine, but in desktop continues hidden the menu to switch between Magic and Genii. I see it when viewing from app on my Kindle, but haven't checked from desktop yet. It could be read on a Kindle? What kind of Kindle? I stil...

Great news, but as Q. Kumber I couldn't locate them (on a desktop) Some days ago, clicking over "issues" button opened the window with all the Genii issues and at the left was visible the names Genii and Magic. There I could switch between both magazines and select some Magic covers, but i...

Last week checking the cinema schedule, I discovered "A ghost story" that lists in its cast Rob Zabrecky and Jared Kopf. It was enough for me and attended to the movie. Directed and written by David Lowery, IMDB says the film premiered on January 22nd, 2017 at Sundance festival and in a li...

Andres? About the Sands of the Desert trick. Did you ever see Andy's take on it. It is a version of the trick that you may have overlooked in since it is buried away on a blog: http://www.thejerx.com/blog/2016/3/7/the-sweetness-in-water Thank you Joe, yes I had read it. In some post here at Genii F...

The screening Room in Magicana http://www.magicana.com/screening-room?keys=&field_show_tid[]=965 has a lot of oldie videos, very interesting bits of history. (sorry, not 16:9, UHD 4K, 5.1 sound :P ) I think is important to know the history. Maybe audience didn't knows if the performer knows hist...

For me, great acquisitions this year were Secrets of So Sato and Super Sized Silly at bargain price at Genii Convention, Thanks Richard.

For me was a great convention. I enjoyed more the past two conventions, in this one I felt so tired, but maybe the problem was me with a lot of work in previous days. I enjoyed a lot Theme and Variations, The No Show, Mike Caveney lecture, the closing gala, Pepper's Ghost lecture, close-up show, The...
