The Genii Forum

Me, again. Maybe it's just 12/36, because I just went to 3/82 to look at part 3 of the Magic Management Series, and IT downloaded fine.

I don't see a specific place for question about this website specifically, so I'll put this here. I found out how to "download" pages of Genii magazine from the archives. I got a few articles that I was interested in. Got to December of 1936 and... nothing. I could "select" the p...

I'm using the actual geniimagazine.com website. It's not there.

OK. Thanks a lot. I had the actual paper version of the 2nd chapter, but I messed up, and that was the only issue I had. I was hoping I couid use this to finish getting that specific group of files together.

Thanks, Rob. I hope so.

I was looking for the series of articles called "Magic Management Series." They went from January 1982, to May 1982. However, in the archives, MARCH 1982 seems to be missing! Am I missing something?

I've been asked why I don't go on "America's Got Talent," (or, in the case of my singing; "The Voice.") the REAL answer is that I'm not as good as they seem to think I am, but what I say is; "I don't have a tragic enough backstory to possibly win."

Thanks, everybody. Especially erdnasephile! I know I should be happy with what I have. And for the most part, I certainly am. I just wish, sometimes, I'd been more focused in my formative years. And, Edward? I see those people with long lines of followers at their funerals. Those are rich people, to...

I love Genii. I love reading it every month. But something has begun to form in my head, and I have to share it. It's not Genii's fault, it's mine. I've read Genii, off and on, since the 70's. Back then, I would thrill at the stories of magicians, how they got where they were, and dream about when i...

IT IS "Real Gone Aces" by Ed Marlo and you can find the original in New Phoenix no 338, april 1956, page 160. That's a possibility, but I've never read the New Phoenix. I know I read this trick. I THINK I read it in Genii and I THINK it was called "Early Assembly." I have boxes ...

I would like to put in my two cents worth on the "digital sweetening" issue that was brought up in your article on Yif, the magician from China. Mark Wilson mentioned that the biggest hurdle he had in getting people to take magic on television seriously was the feeling that it was all &quo...

A few years back, the family took a trip to Walt Disney World. When we hit EPCOT, we toured the World Showcase and found ourselves in the gift shop for the Japanese pavilion. The family was stunned at the anime and manga and I noticed a little display of Tenyo products that I couldn't get at the tim...

It looks great, but as it's unlikely I'll ever be able to get the needed props, I don't think I'm ever going to attempt this one.
