The Genii Forum

Phil Pearce

Many thanks, y'all got me to the right place. I've gotta say, the subscription price for Genii Magazine, with all the benefits and access to things magica, is one of the best values around.

Subject tells it all

Thanks.

I think R-H meant that a conjurer is not a juggler; he is an actor playing the part of a magician.
And I think Mr. Giobbi disagrees with that statement.

But I could be wrong.

Phil Pearce

Thank you, Mr. Pecore and Mr. Kaufman. That helps a lot.

Was Frank Garcia a columnist for either of these magazines, and if so, does anyone know the inclusive dates of the magazine in which his columns appeared?

Thanks!

Originally posted by Opie R.: The list still needs to include Fitzkee's The Magic of Rezvani, Thompson's My Best, and anything by Al Baker... I disagree Opie. Those are nice books. Though necessary?

One time price drop to $145, including shipping, for this OOP, hard to find, important book...The Gene Maze Card Book.
Google it, you'll see that this is a bargain.

Phil Pearce

It's a booklet (stapled, I think, but not sure) put out by an IBM Ring in the Northeast (Philly?) around 1954, probably for a lecture by FG at their meeting. I think it's a stapled booklet.
It's about the only English language book(let) I know of by FG that I don't have in my collection.

First Edition, signed by Richard Kaufman. Spine has a piece of Scotch Tape holding a small piece of paper with 3 numbers. Back cover has a 1 cm ink mark. Interior of this book is spotless with no folds, bends, or markings of any kind. Appears to have hardly been read if at all. $160 including shippi...

The trick I'm looking for vaguely reminds me of Skinner's Miracle Speller. What a great trick that is! But that's not it. I remember an additional feature of the trick I'm looking for: If using a blue deck, one red-backed Ace is utilized somehow. Also, I'm almost positive that the name of the trick ...

Phil Pearce

Hey Joe,
Thanks for the reply, but that's not it. Standard playing cards. But I seriously respect your encyclopedic knowledge and willingness to share that knowledge.
Thanks again.

Phil Pearce

Years ago, I ran across a spelling trick I liked. I never performed it but now I want to dredge it up and perhaps add it to my routine. It's called something like "The World Famous [Spectator's Name] Trick". It was not in a magazine. I've looked in all my Fulves books, including the Jordan...

Phil Pearce

Will trade for SOAPRG straight up for "Magic by Garcia" if in decent condition.

Received the book today, thank you.

Phil Pearce

Thanks, I'll keep an eye out for it.

Phil Pearce

Sam, I have tried to contact you several times. Your message to me today asks if I want you to hold the book I ordered, implying that you had not yet received payment. Funds were sent yesterday via PayPal to the address you listed (<a href="mailto:ka6sam@earthlink.net">ka6sam@earthlink.net...

Phil Pearce

Hi Sam,
I too sent email to the wrong address, then saw your correction and sent another to the new, correct address, but I haven't heard from you.
Wanted to purchase the Meant to Be book by Born.
Where do we stand on that?
Thanks.

Phil Pearce

Does anyone have a copy of "Kane", by Peter Kane, that they'd consider selling?
Thanks.

It's an 8 page stapled booklet published by the Philly IBM Ring in about 1954.
Anyone got one they'd consider selling?
Thanks.

Seems like more of an outcome than a goal IMHO. The hard work is the process.

Huh?

Phil Pearce

Reading this made me, an admittedly non-creative person, want to create something original.

It might be some sort of optical illusion working, but I have found that the right hand packet should look slightly larger than the left. It works for me. Dang. I'm right handed, but I have found that the LEFT hand packet should look slightly larger than the right. And I thought "it was just m...

Phil Pearce

Thanks.
Does anyone know if the collection that was donated has been digitized?

Phil Pearce

I read in Genii that Magic Craig donated his entire library of color film of magicians to the Magic Castle.
Has this collection been digitized? Is it extant? Can non-members of the MC gain access to this resource?
TIA

"Cascade" is one of the greatest card tricks of all time. After my humble version, "Mutanz," came out, Jerry Sadowitz described me as a "knob head" -- what better recommendation do you need? I purchased your "Mutanz" a fortnight ago and it is a beauty. Sneaky...

Phil Pearce

Thanks, Mr. Pecore. Ordered it tonight.

Phil Pearce

Thanks to all!

Aldo Colombini has a marketed trick called Five Card Mystery. It is said that it is based on Frank Garcia's Five Card Stunner. Can anyone help me track down where the Stunner effect is published, or absent that, where (if) it can be purchased?

Many thanks.

Phil

Phil Pearce

Thanks Tim. I'll look into that, and I'll also keep looking for the original Cascade.

Phil

Anybody know where I can purchase this in the States?
Thanks.

Neat.
Thanks!

I have a winky emoticon to say - lighten up, chill, let's be friends ;-) Prosecutors and judges recognize that motives make a difference to the crime charged and the sentences that are imposed for those crimes. Whether the difference between murder and manslaughter or a regular crime vs. hate crime...

Thanks. Very very nice.
