As I recall, Wyrick was on the cover of MAGIC magazine. And now he is doing something at MAGIC Live ... is there anyone who thought his show at Planet Hollywood was good? Few of you probably know that Steve Wyrick was one of the people trying to buy Genii from the Larsen family in 1998. That was a ...

Nothing has changed as far as I know. Some sellers like to put stupid prices on things just waiting for an uneducated customer to come along. Go check out abebooks.com for crazy prices. You are right about that. Many sellers on both of those venues are hoping to catch a flier. In general, the unwar...

Borders, B&N, and other chains put the kibosh on small independent book stores with predatory pricing. That's not true in every situation. It's certainly not true here in St. Louis. Not everyone is concerned about price and as we've previously posted, other factors can make an independent store...

Borders, B&N, and other chains put the kibosh on small independent book stores with predatory pricing. Amazon.com is putting the kibosh on the chains with predatory pricing. State and local tax authorities will put the kibosh on Amazon.com through the enforcement of sales and use tax collection....

IMHO the demand side of the equation (curiosity/mystery/allure of 'secret') seems in place. With knock offs, Chinese or otherwise, the supply curve is elastic. The demand curve for all magic, limited by relatively small numbers of potential buyers in this niche market, tends to be inelastic and as ...

Talking of magic props, I think there will come a saturation point where all the knock off merchants in china will have 10,000s of magic items and won't know the place to unload. eBay. Searched for a PK effect called Ultracinese on eBay for a friend. Struck out. Found dozens of "Ultrachinese&q...

He IS talking about the English set of volumes 1 and 2 of Fechner's book! I know quite well that volumes 3 and 4 aren't in English since I have the original French editions. And, yes, Fechner didn't care for Swiss's review of 1 and 2 (this from a film producer who had more than his share of crappy ...

SquareCircle

No, he's talking about the two-volume set published by Christian Fechner in Paris. I think it's $250 to $400. The set published by Fechner in Paris is in French, not English. I wonder why he refused to release an English translation of that set? :confused: Poor magazine review of the first two?? :o...

If I had to stand on the corner in my underwear and sell copies of Genii one at a time to generate enough money, I would do it to keep my business alive.
