Shocked and saddened. Just re-read the last email from David which I'd been meaning to reply to, but you get busy and it goes to the back-burner and then... David was a man of many, many gifts -- and an informed passion for great performance (and was a link to so many performers who deserved to be r...

Re Mr. Goat: "For an entertainer, I wouldn't leave it to a form, I would want them to contact me directly, so I had the chance to sell to them. The fact he has his number up in the nav is great for that. I know I can convert a lead more easily on the phone than I can via a cold and unpersonal f...

You want to know about "real work": Ask Denny Haney about Del Ray ending the close-up act at corporate shows by beating the best Rummy player in the company. He was legitimately cheating (how's that for an oxymoron), and Denny's story of the time Del was almost beaten is a great example of...

Lou,

Glad to have found the link to the article, I was just watching some of Mr. Lu's work (I'm assuming that's the surname based on what little I've heard third-hand about Asian naming), and was about to post a "Who is this Lu Chen guy?" The work is phenomenal...simple, clear, impossible plots...

David,

I'm emailing you.

Best,

No idea if this is mentioned above, but the insane thing is subjecting pilots to these searches. If a pilot wants to bring down the plane he is flying, feeling him up isn't going to stop him. As it stands, pilots go through security screening 200-400 times a year. And that raises questions about the...

"People seem to get all uncomfortable talking about the positive aspects of racial profiling (just like El Al regularly undertakes)........but frankly it's far better to target those who've caused 100% of the problems to date, rather than 100% of those who choose to fly in a plane" Because...

How much do we know of Erdnase's credentials and experience?

Perhaps it is worth judging the worth by its own merits once it is published

I love Brown's response, here is the image now at the URL linked to by the wikipedia article:

" Already the Castle has people lining up to be paid 800 bucks a week. Do you think if the contract now said "and we will record your show and make it available via an encrypted stream to members" that everyone would refuse to work at the Castle? Of course not. I say just force it. If...

The disc is well done. I particularly enjoyed the "tour de force" for two reasons: 1.) these techniques are only effective when they're instinctual; and while that only happens through experience, seeing the techniques in different contexts over and over really helps to get the whole thing...

A performer's act is his/her most valuable asset. You're already asking folks to give a week of shows for $800; to then expect that for that $800 you should be able to distribute the performer's most valuable asset worldwide, in perpetuity, to end up in god-knows-whose hands and shown in god-knows-w...

"Which then begs the question, if the missing footage is stored at a location at Milt's request, then would it seem Bill knows where the missing footage is?" No, it doesn't. If you had taken a few minutes to actually read Mr. McIlhany's account before shooting off; you would see that the s...

NCMarsh

Seconded.

The last thing I want to get involved with is castle politics. But I can't help saying -- as someone without a dog in the fight (other than a deep appreciation for Mr. Mcilhany's contributions to our community) -- how sketchy it looks to an outsider to try to "keep in the dark" one side of...

"If it was magic, it would look like 3 Fly, Shadow Coins or The Hanging Coins." Counter-intuitively, cover can make an effect much more magical...the egg-bag vs. a barehanded vanish of an egg...or, for the most compelling example I've seen, if you spend some time with George Parker from th...

"I don't have any kids ... (wink, nod) well, none that I know of."

Dang, I had been using this line for some time and honestly thought I wrote it...it does seem odd that a female performer would be using it; doesn't make biological sense

One of the things I loved about the Pendragons was that it wasn't a magician and his assistant -- it was a real duo act, and they both brought a lot to the table The transition from physical, highly athletic, primarily silent duo act to talking solo act is a challenging one -- and they were both ext...

Each book bears copy number "842." My Al Mann copy, for what it is worth, has no number on that page, but does have a facsimile of Harbin's signature where RH signed the real copies. The foil stamping on the cover is of lower resolution, more a yellow gold than the orange tint that the eB...

I'm wondering why he didn't promise them something that was already part of his act? The reality of the situation is that stand-up/stage talking acts are built out of 3-8 min pieces (with most of our repertoire in the 5-8 range). The 30-90 second bits we do have are typically light MC material that...
