The Genii Forum

Well now I'm even more excited about it.

Of course there are still young magicians who care about Jennings and his material. Are they in the majority? No, certainly not. But the ones who truly study an art form are never in the majority. (If we're going to paint people with as broad strokes as that we might as well just say that all magic...

Here's their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/dealtmovie/?fref=ts I believe they'll be distributing the movie both through streaming and DVD, and I have also heard about them shooting some new instructional footage with Richard Turner that will be available separately. As the project was crow...

They have mentioned aiming for a release this summer, but that's all I've heard. I believe they managed to record more footage than they had originally planned for which meant a delay in the editing phase.

It's a long long story. If it would have happened, Mike Caveney was to have been the publisher. Plans were made, but life gets in the way (not on Mike's part). I understand if it's too time consuming to write a post about, but what exactly are the obstacles here that is hindering a book being writt...

I think the new forum looks great! The layout is much better fitted for today's computer screens in width.

Well that was certainly today's easiest decision to make.

Congratulations, Richard! I'm glad to hear you'll remain as editor. Will this mean more time for books for you, or will you still be putting as many hours into Genii work as before?

Is that for "Takes it Easy" or "Takes it Slow"? I'd assume it was for the second book of the trilogy, but I seem to recall that one being finished except for the photographs, so I'd better ask to be sure. Either way - I look forward to them both like a kid looks forward to Christ...

Hi Richard,

Do you have an update on the next Jennings book(s)? Looking forward to it, whenever it'll be released.

I see, thank you for the update. Hopefully someone will take up this offer, would be a shame to leave it unwritten. (I'd take it on myself, but with a student's income that's not possible, and I'm positive there are others out there who would do a much better job.)

Stumbled across discussions on books of Harvey's material which led me here. Has there been any progress made with this project yet?

If I'm not mistaken Chris Kenner is somewhat of a mentor to Moritz, so I think he has a very bright future in magic if he just sticks around.

Ah, thank you for your quick reply. As the optimist I am, I'll keep my fingers crossed for things to change in the future.

Any chance you think the market is ready for a reprint of The Vernon Touch yet, Richard? I'm still losing sleep over having missed out on this one.

Brad, you probably haven't been keeping up on the literature of this whole thing, but yes, Erdnase did read magic books--there are a number of items which appear in the book that are clearly taken from earlier magic texts. Some of the ideas have been improved, such as the Diagonal Palm Shift, but o...

Except when measured with any sort of common measure systems that are used we tend to be ahead of Sweden in most of em. Except, perhaps, in modesty. ;-) Thanks, Tom. This made my day. :D I would've preferred a trip to Helsinki rather than Busan in 2018 as the latter adds at least $1000 to my travel...
