On August 30, I asked the seller (zanderduncan), the following question about his Marlo's Magazine #1 lot (151395542441): Why are you selling print outs of a pdf? Reply: reprints started at very low bidding price, because they are print outs. if you don't want reprint, don't bid, and pay high price...

The seller provided a lot of hi-res pictures of what you bought. Did you ask the seller where he got it from? Did you do this? The guy is actually selling a lot of magic books so he can probably tell you more about what you bought. If you look there are items just like what you bought that were phot...

It looks like you may have bought an authorized reprinted/photocopied/whatever from back in the day. The guy sold issues 1, 2 and 3 and no more. If he was making the copies then he would have more to sell or sold more. Plus he has 100% feedback. http://www.ebay.com/sch/zanderduncan/m.html?item=15139...

Bill, Is this the one? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ed-Marlo-Marlos-Magazine-Volume-3-Rare-OOP-Edward-Marlo-/151395549414?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item233fe0c0e6 If so then that sucks. That is a lot of money. I think you have a tough case because the listing does say reprint and the seller does cle...

According to Ebay's terms of service, photocopies are not allowed to be sold on Ebay.

You have got to be misunderstanding that.

You are telling me if I am selling plans to make a shed. That I cannot print the first copy on my printer and then go to staples to make copies to sell on ebay.

It seems like you know what to do, why are you asking the question if you know what to do?

If the copy is illegal, then copying it to retain the information is just as illegal.

baabaablacksheep

Did you ask the seller where he got it from? This post and others in the thread that you started not to long ago states that authorization was given to others to copy it. Back in the day that would mean a photocopy and if it was someone else making the copies then it would not be signed. http://foru...

That stinks, Smoothini was great on Tuesday. I want to go back and watch again what he did he fooled me the first time. They probably did not want 4 Magic acts in the final 12. Too bad.

baabaablacksheep

So sad. He had many great Tenyo. 4D Surprise was favorite by him.

I read the two threads that Tom Stone gave links to and at the end I really felt sorry for Jonathan Pendragon. He was the only one who got screwed in the end (with the big deals, not the smaller dealings). It seems like the illusions were sold and bought without his knowledge. In the end Charlotte g...

From what I saw in the video, she is not a very good professional magician. I think she can book some low level gigs but not more than that in my opinion. I think a better strategy would be to use her notarity and lend here name to a show of upcoming female magicians. She could act as the MC and do ...

Watching the Magician's on AGT this year reminds me of an important fact I have to remember when I do a trick. You can get away with a lot more than you think (most of the times). I would make a flub and say out loud (this is for friends/family members, I am not a professional), "aw shucks,&quo...

along with the two guys who I thought are a very good team. Next week, there are two more trying to make it to the top 12. I was watching off the DVR so I just found out and came to post. The two guys were the last to get through. The judges put them through. It was three votes for them and no need...

Mike Super made it to the "Top 12."

I like close-up but don't have any books (at least not yet).

I never heard of Erdnase, I was going to go back and read throught the thread but I don't have a month to go through the thousands of posts. This topic has more than 1.3 million views, amazing. I read up on Erdnase on Wikipedia so at least I know what it is about. Pretty interesting.

John Cox, I have been looking through your Houdini website and wanted to tell you that I am enjoying it very much. It is full of interesting articles and very professionally done. Great job. Thanks.

I was surprised he got voted through. The performance was not that good for a few reasons in my opinion. He only performed to two of the judges this time and the other judges could not see what he was doing. Even on TV it was very hard to see what he was doing, Howard Stern said the "blocking&q...

Are you still planning to share your Tenyo Pricing Guide with us?

I remember seeing a tiny picture of it on Stereo's site. Richard, have you ever seen the trick?

baabaablacksheep

Tenyo lists on their website a trick called Disney World. Is that a good trick?

I thought it was a military aircraft.

You can load your Ultra Slice up with Chalk, Crayons or Sharpened Down Pencils. That would make a good classroom trick.

So many packages from the early 80's had the glue fail. I wonder why it happened for so many years. I would think that they would have got a handle on it and fixed it after a year or two. Richard, will there be information about the packages where the glue has failed in the Tenyo book you are writing?

baabaablacksheep

I am looking forward to the Tenyo price guide as well.

Only a couple of days until February, hopefully we will not have to wait too much longer.

baabaablacksheep

Great information and insights.

Thanks for being so generous to share these bits of wisdom.

Then Blaine cognitively restructures their perception of the selection procedure by repeatedly referring to their sighted card as “the card you thought of.” He never uses the words “saw, looked at, chose, or selected.” I get it, so he uses a traditional force off camera and then on camera when he s...

Things get very different when a TV crew is involved. Are you hinting that the card was suggested? One interesting point is that he had some of the best actors in the world (Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, Jamie Foxx, Will Smith, to name a few) on the special, so if they were in on it, who better to ac...

Richard - aside from the occasional tv special, what exactly does Blaine do? He does major stunts a la Harry Houdini.

I have a question. Most times when magicians use a card that will be revealed they force it in some manner. But in the new Blaine show, for all or most of the cards he asked the audience member to think of a card. Is there a known method that he can use in this manner to divine the card or is the au...

That is one of those Chinese knock-offs of Mystery of the High Hat. You can tell because the hat is round and not oval.

The one you buy from SEO comes with a DVD for the trick. Maybe you can buy the English instructions and the DVD from them.

Roger M. criticizes me for being a cop but at the same time thinks it is OK to be the cop of what is OK and NOT OK to post on a forum. Pretty Ironic. Stereo or should I say stereobasic, I can fully understand why you would agree. With the shady Tenyo auctions that you put on ebay, you for sure do no...

baabaablacksheep

The seller's not " sure " it isn't a Tenyo item, he's listed some of the differences he sees from other similar Tenyo items he's researched. Perhaps it is Tenyo, perhaps it isn't Tenyo - the seller has given you the appropriate information for you to make up your own mind, and buy (or don...
