Danny, it's not yellow yarn.
It's that other stuff.
It's kind of knotted.
It's different, no?

Oops. I forgot to run over at lunch.

How do the Sherwood coppers compare to Paul Fox coppers?

I know the load is slightly larger. What else?
Waht about Weight? Attic Space? Tip back move?

Thanks

Frank Starsinic

I'll bet it's just 4 cards stapled together.

Just kidding.

Steven, I saw your close-up act at the castle and it was great.

I think you should try to negotiate. Just change to it so it looks agreeable to you and turn it into them. I'll bet they say,... "sure. that's fine". I did that last spring. Just made changes, signed it and sent it back. And notified them of what I was doing. It was no big deal. Sometimes ...

Paul, How is the reset for the "zapped" routine? Would it be practical for walk-around? Thanks for your great stuff, Frank p.s. I just purchased other stuff from your website tonight and wanted to point out to everyone that the process for paying and getting immediate download was fantastic.

Frank Starsinic

I love that effect.. "Va. City Shuffle" Very clean, very magical. No gaffus. Ahhhhh!!!!! I created a Jumbo Card version several years ago by purchasing some cheap jumbo cards and erasing the pips off of the low red spot cards with a pencil eraser. Took a while but it was worth the effort. ...

Frank Starsinic

It's a great trick. I've not performed it but it's got a great suspense build up.

TW does a great job of that.
I forgot all about it needing 2 decks.
Seems worth it to me.

You might want to consider Earl Nelson's routine

What I'm reading is this... "Everybody does it (ripping off) so end of discussion. It happens. Get over it." While perhaps a valid statement, in a way, there are things the rest of us can do after finding out that this has occured. 1. Don't purchase the rip-off 2. Don't purchase any items ...

Tim! Well done and I will add a link from my site to that page to help educate.

I believe Lee Asher also reported that
a David Harkey effect has been ripped off from his book "Simpley Harkey" and is being sold on Penguin or MagicMakers.

Maybe Lee will chime in with the name.

Me too!!! I couldn't believe how many coins were involved in the slot machine. I did not have the privilege to see it in person so the DVD was a treat.

My thread on this topic was removed from the magic cafe :(

Aparently it is their policy.

Which Shakespeare play was that Richard?
Not Richard III, I presume? :)

I'm making some of these cups for someone as a custom order and they are amazing. You can dice stack with the dice as well. An interesting set of effects is possible here. I'll know more after the final prototype is made. sachs dice routine whip cup routine dice stacking wow. you would look like you...

2 wallets for Simon Lovell's "Packed Wallet" routine. Plus the video "Man of Danger 3" with performance/explaination of the routine (and several others).

$50

This is the most eye-popping card-to-wallet on earth.

I'm now SOLD OUT out of Todd Strong videos.
The cups will now come with the
Jim Z video.

That tape is at least as good. It's just not the one I learned from originally.

Thanks for your interest!

If you're new to dice stacking or want to get started I'm offering a package that includes...

I bought one of those a couple years ago.
Do I have to give it back?

Frank Starsinic

Some of these volumes are pretty good but I don't see any feedback from mr. christopher.

I did notice his name as "logged in" so he's here lurking about somewhere. :)

Mr. Christopher, please chime in so we know what's up.

Thanks,
Frank

He's posted the same ad on alt.magic as well.

I'm pleased to announce that after working with Jim Cellini, we were able to build to his exact specifications "The Cellini Pouch". Jim told me "They're perfect. Don't change a thing". So, they are ready. Cellini Pouch Soft leather, lined with satin, inside pockets (on both sides...

Sammy, It was no big thing, really! I don't know what you're picturing but from my perspective, as performed, it was neither disgusting nor crude. I'm sure Mr. Ammar has the sense not to do the same thing at a little girl's birthday party or at the Ladies' Church Club Social. In a similar way, just ...

Frank Starsinic

I've heard great things. I'll buy a copy right now.

Frank Starsinic

One of the best card-to-whatever's I've seen was Michael Ammar's at his lecture.

It was Card-to-Fly. As in his zipper.

The time between the selection and the revelation was fantastic. Funny and entertaining.

Frank Starsinic

I have one of these and they are very good.
The size is just right. Smallish.

Anything that looks like it came fresh from a magic store.

Is it expanded or exactly the same as the original?

I have the paperback version of the original and wouldn't mind a hardback anyway.

His column was basically the only reason I got a subscription to that magazine.

I've been meaning to chime in here for several weeks but have forgotten until now. The day after I read this thread my wife and I hosted a wine-tasting thingy. Out of the blue, one of the gentlemen at the thingy said that the easiest job ever is being a Dermatologist. He said you only need to know t...

Frank Starsinic

I certainly think that a better prop is more interesting and entertaining for the magician. You're excited about using it so you practice more. And the feel is a part of that, for sure. Just like the bicyle I'm trying to talk my wife into letting me get. My thinking is that if I buy a real expensive...

Frank Starsinic

Oh. In that case, I'm interested. I already have the videos. I'll email you.

Yes. Understood.

Are we going to see one of these at the Magic Castle Swapmeet in November?

Frank Starsinic

Hi Jim. Nice work as always. I like that it looks like a cocktail shaker to some degree. Looks like you've got another winner. The only input I would have is that if the baseball is inside the cup in "chopped formation" closer to the mouth would be better so it doesn't clunk when it become...

Is this the 2 video set?
