No one? Bueller? Bueller ?

Does anyone know if Joel Brook’s High Caliber Magic is still going? The website is no longer functional. Any contact information for him?

Shazzbatt

I'd be curious to find out about this too as I also have lost Laid Back Two: Rough Cut and a couple of John Carney purchases (although like stated above JC preempted the problems with that)

Shazzbatt

Sad news indeed. My thoughts are with his family. Leo, you are correct. Anthony and I discussed doing a book of Brian’s magic. Anthony suffered a stroke shortly after our initial conversations and he gladly passed the baton to me as he wasn’t in a position to do the work himself. Since then life got...

Wish I’d seen the latest developments in this thread a little earlier today. As it is, today I decided enough was enough. I’ve been very patient. I’ve tried contacting Dave through a number of channels, all without success. I’m no longer interested in receiving this product. So today I contacted my ...

I have received the set but not yet had the chance to sit down and go through it. After reading the comments in this thread about the sound sync issues and lack of specific trick/explanation menus for the original videos I am somewhat disappointed. I transferred my original copies from VHS to DVD so...

Jonathan,

Is the colour changing deck routine which precursors the card case changing on the Magic Castle video included with the instructions for C4?

Regards,

Martin.

FWIW I saw the show in London a few years ago and the recent show. Whilst I enjoyed the show on the whole my view of it was that the classic pieces were the most enjoyable for me. The newer pieces didn't quite work for me. They were OK but were clearly in need of more stage time. I think on reflecti...

Pit Hartling will be holding a 4-5 hour workshop on memorised deck magic on Tuesday 27th May in Manchester, England. This rare event will see Pit share much of his previously unreleased memorised deck material along with tricks and tips on working with a memorised deck. Pit has also offered to teach...

Shazzbatt

Brilliant!

If you can do a Faro shuffle then you will have absolutely no problems with a new phoenix deck.

Shazzbatt

Hi,

Does anyone know who currently owns the rights to the now defunct Abracadabra Magazine please? (Formally Goodliffes Abracadabra)

Thanks,

Martin.

Shazzbatt

Pete,

I believe the answer to your query can be found over at the big green place.

BTW, have you tried optically clear silicon tape on the sticker side of the coins. Makes them handle like a dream!

Regards,

Martin

Shazzbatt

Erdnasephile makes a great point about the workshop format. This is something I recently organised for a small group of 12 to experience with Greg Wilson as the lecturer/workshop leader. We each paid £50, Greg got a decent fee and we all came away feeling we'd more than got our money's worth. This w...

Shazzbatt

David,

I for one will be much more interested in this if we can avoid the expensive shipping fees.

Regards,

Martin.

I bought a Thomas Wayne Chop Mug through Bob Kohler a few years ago and thought it was excellent. Not sure if he still sells them though.

Shazzbatt

Bob, I think Ask Alexander allows you to search Abra.

Shazzbatt

Dammit, looks like I missed out on the shipping offer! I forgot to order in time!

Shazzbatt

Looks like the pre-order offer on Mt Bannon's website has changed. It's no longer showing Ultimate Self Working Card Tricks vol 2 and instead offering one of his Fractal card tricks dvds.

Shazzbatt

I had posted a lengthy and well considered response but it seems to have failed to be posted, so instead... "Socially and artistically reprehensible"?... Wait, what?! Really?! I don't believe society finds tribute acts in any way reprehensible. If it did there wouldn't be so many music tri...

Shazzbatt

What about performing someone else's routine with their permission after they no longer do it?

Is that frowned upon?

Shazzbatt

Thanks for the info on this Gary.

Shazzbatt

Gary,

The box looks very nice. Do you know if the hinge allows the loose movement of the lid that aids the deception when "tipping the card out of the box", as Tommy's own version of the box used a silk hinge.

Regards,

Martin.

Shazzbatt

This looks interesting. It's always good to get an experienced pro's take on something. Sometimes a single tip or subtlety is worth the price of a lecture (or in this case an ebook).

Shazzbatt

Harry Robson's Hands Off Wallet (HOW) would be excellent for a credit card and the reveal can be done entirely by the spectator.

Shazzbatt

Just downloaded from Mr Racherbaumer's site.

As a heads up, the official Jon Armstrong "Tiny Plunger" routine is being released by Kozmo magic in two weeks. It includes a DVD, standard plunger and gimmicked plunger.

Fantastica, hardly likely either Blackpool Magicians Club or the Manchester Circle of Magicians will kick him out as he is the President and Secretary of the clubs respectively.

Shazzbatt

Johnny, No need to be surprised at my comments. They were in no way personal or intended to offend. I was merely playing devils advocate and offering alternative thoughts and points of view to the discussion. I am fully supportive of you in this issue and detest any form of descrimination, whether a...

Shazzbatt

Interesting.

Shazzbatt

Another thought. If the World Society of Deaf Magicians have requested an interpreter for the convention then if Derek agreed to allowing the facility but insisted it was at your cost would that have been acceptable to you? Just a note - I am merely putting an alternative viewpoint across not my own...

Shazzbatt

Hi, Devil's Advocate here offering an alternative thought on this. In refusing the presence of a sign interpreter for deaf attendees is what Derek/BMC doing actually illegal? (Therefore making any legal action completely pointless) When buying a ticket for the Blackpool Convention are you not in fac...

Shazzbatt

I am also puzzled at this situation. I am a member of the Manchester Circle of Magicians and having the young lady signing for the deaf members is a very regular occurrence at our meetings. I can't see any reason why Derek would have any issue with doing this at Blackpool, but then I'm a logical cha...

Were they paid?

Tom has made all his ebooks available for two days only. They'll be gone again by Saturday morning.

Shazzbatt

OK, so today I got a look at the prototype wallet that Harry has been using for a while now and had a go at loading a card into it. It does what it says on the promo. It's easy to load and uses the "instant reset" system you'll have seen on the mk2 version of the Instant Reset wallet so yo...

Shazzbatt

Erdnasephile, it is a signed card to envelope in (hip)wallet.

I'll be seeing Harry at a gig on Boxing Day and have asked him to bring this along for me to take a look at. The reports from friends who have already seen this are very positive.

I'll report back after the 26th.
