Arrived in Anchorage, AK.

if you turn off the internet (drop into airplane mode) you will not get hung up at 72%. But as Richard has suggested, delete the app and download the issues in the new version. it works just as well with only a few missing features.

another thing i noticed about the performance and i wonder if it was intentional. No attempt was made to bring Howard Stern into the mix. He stood up so he could see over the other heads. Also Howie Mandel is a self proclaimed germophobe. Ending with the pen and the nose seemed childish to me, but t...

I work in education (curriculum development) and one of the things we stress is that even as technology progresses, nothing beats a chalk board to get a point across. In my environment, we actually use a white board, but issues have come up when the markers run dry. Chalk doesn't have that problem.

I know that Pulp Gamer does video and audio work for the GAMA trade show. They are familiar with niche markets and creating content for distribution.

I've know it was the sled, I just never understood why it was important.

Can we get them signed <wink>?

What is her point? I don't see it in the transcript. Apparently she's met some magicians who bring their performing character on dates or worse, home. Ah, Silverman is cast in the movie with NPH ... Now the connection to magic is clear. While NPH may not be her source material, she does tap into th...

I heard the episode and recognized his name from the book he wrote. I figured someone would post about if it mattered much. Here's a link to the episode and it's transcript. http://freakonomics.com/2014/05/22/think-like-a-child-full-transcript/ (Edited to correct transcript link) Sent from my iPad u...

Richard mentioned this in Genii Speaks for the June Issue. The entire archives will be available via a different company and be consolidated in a single interface and app.

Here is link to the huffing ton post article about the movie. Trailer is embedded.

I am interested! Anyone else planning on attending?

Do you happen to know any good theatrical performing books or even better, lecture dvds that really teach what is at the heart of performing and CREATING a live theatrical show? I suppose these are already in your library? Fitzkee trilogy Strong magic by Ortiz Maximum entertainment by Weber 13 step...

I used to use jabber. It was an attempt to be a master console of all the instant messaging clients at the time. AOL's IM, yahoo's IM, ICQ etc. You sign in with jabber and have all your contacts in one place and you didn't care what network they were on.

Lastly, I was trying to figure out a way to mark a piece of foam core bored without having a visual marking, I'm trying to figure out some sort of invisible marking that I can put on it to be able to feel it. I was thinking something like super glue gel, but haven't had a chance to play with it. An...

Not sure how many here have heard of the 1-9-90 rule... Basically it's that 1 percent create, 9 percent contribute in some form, and the remaining 90 percent are just consumers. Question for the discussion: with the difference in the number of members here vs there, do you think the 1990 rul holds u...

click the center button (the mouse wheel for me) automatically opens in a new tab. Or, you could hold control as your click. Much quicker than the "right click" & "select open in new" method.

I missed it the first time around. Do you think it will be offered again?

You, I and many other have a very strong opinions.. and we have the sarcastic gene. But to tell the truth about someone with the facts and to be banned from that from a silly message board, is inane. I think every message board is silly, because all of the topics will fade into the past and become ...

Still on the hunt for Greater Magic. I also picked up Bobo's New Modern Coin Magic at the meet. It's on the shelf next to your CoinMagic and David Roth's Expert Coin Magic volumes.

I am so new at this that I am still working on the basics.

I am glad that Dustin reminded me about the Swap Meet at the Magic Castle this past weekend. I managed to get down there (its a 3 hour drive) and picked up some good finds. Mainly I was looking for some of the basics. I picked up Tarbell 1-7 and Fitzkee 1-3. I have both on my tablet but it is nice t...

There's a chance that Google didn't take the player out of their iOS app as a way to get flash onto the device. Perhaps they couldn't be bothered. Also, I think there's a subtle difference between Shockwave and Flash. I think Aguilar would know more details on that. You misunderstand the dynamics. ...

Apple doesn't support flash, but there are other browsers out there that do. Google chrome on ipad2 renders flash. Minor technical point -- Chrome on iPad does not support Flash. Flash is not allowed on iOS devices. I do not believe this is a correct statement. On my PC, I can download the new Magi...

Chris, that was the same thought that I had! It made me wonder - is there a female Marvel equivalent? The only Magician I can think of is Dr Strange.

Do the normal dress code rules apply for the event at 9am? I brought a coat/tie just in case, but I'd like to avoid wearing them if possible.

shatteredorbit

While there isnt explicit offline support, anything delivered to the browser can be viewed offline. In the case of MAGIC Magazine, its a Shockwave Flash file. You hsould be able to visit the page and depending on the browser, save the page for offline viewing. That will keep the files needed local a...

I am sure a moderator can split these posts off. Anyway, last year I stumbled on to something called "Magic Mob". It was organized with the intent of getting people to a SPECIFIC store on a specific day. I made it to Denny&Lee's in Vegas and picked up Scripting Magic by Pete McCabe. Th...

After seeing how useful the iGenii edition is, i took the plunge and became a lifetime member. Now i just have to find time to read 75 years worth before the next issue arrives....

Of course the original isn't made from pipe fittings. I was referring to your comment about pipe fittings. Nice to see that the entire set can be done with a 3d printer.

Just wanted to echo the previous comments about enjoying the podcast. I listen to a lot of podcasts and yours does seem to capture the 'pulse' of the various things going on in the magic community. The convention 'man on the scene' coverage of the Magic LIVE, the IBM Convention makes for a good podc...

I have printed dozens of items for myself, from special pipe fittings for a project, to rising card gimmicks and toys for my son. So far my largest and most successful project was a Cy Endfield type of chess set. For details see http://www.lybrary.com/cy-endfields-chess-set-a-19.html The original c...

I am enjoying the book choices, and the project over all. How many weeks/books do you expect to release? Would it be possible to get a list of the future books, or possible allow for the earlier books to be acquired? I came in on week 2 and would really like a copy of Expert. But, as I have a physic...
