Hi I'm planning to visit the castle in August with a friend. I have some questions that I hope somebody could help me to solve. My friend is 20 years old. Another friend that worked at the Castle told him that he can visit it without problem. That a sticker will be attached in order to signal "...

What about the power of publishing? The power of media?

Andres Reynoso

Just great!!!! Now is very easy to surf on the Genii File. I have found things that didn't imagine were there. Even to watch an interesting cover invites to open the issue and review it. Is very interesting the new function to view in pdf, html or txt, I prefer the traditional pdf but is good to hav...

New year's day .... but exactly of WHICH year? :P

Andres Reynoso

Mmmm in fact a lot of products are listed with discount but with you view the "detailed product" are shown with normal price. Other items are listed with 50% off but really has 20%.
Odd

Andres Reynoso

I think a lot of folks ordered it yesterday ... I really watched the discount offer on history site, but today the discount is gone. Only normal price.

At Genii Bash I crossed some words with a colleague magician wearing a Dead Can Dance t-shirt about the band's new tour.

I watched them last week and I want to contact this magician in order to exchange opinions about the concert.

If you read the post please contact me.

Yann Frisch won last FISM close-up grand prix with that routine. I saw him perform it at S.A.M. Convention mere 2 weeks after FISM and was superb.
At the end you are confused with all the things happening over the table.

Andres Reynoso

For me was Rob Zabreky and Tom Stone.

A great convention!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In this moment i'm waiting my plane to return to my "real" life and my "real" work ..... What a shame..... but the weekend was fabulous

Andres Reynoso

October issue? hahahahaha. I haven't yet September one (I mean 2012, not 1999 like Bob Farmer ;) )

This is typical. Regularly arrives on 3rd week of the month ... frecuently on Friday ... so maybe I will have today a surprise on my mailbox.

Andres Reynoso

I'm obsessed with his books. And I will meet him in a month at Genii Bash :D

Andres Reynoso

I have enjoyed the oportunity to talk with Pendragon, Chan Kai and Kavir. I want to talk with Tamariz, Jamy Ian Swiss and Tom Stone

Andres Reynoso

There is any 'roommate waiting list'?

Andres Reynoso

My plan was to use the shuttle but my friends opted by taxi. We arrived saturday noon at Terminal 3 and there wasn't any taxi line, we boarded inmediatly one. A dodge charger!!!! wow, in Mexico is a car used only by police and bodyguards. It cost $42. To return I discovered a bus route, the WAX - We...

Andres Reynoso

the highlight for me was Tina Lenert doing the Mop Man act. She got a standing O and well deserved. Nice to see it again after so long. _________________________ Great!!!!!! I watched her on a DW-Transtel TV show I think was "varietes magic". Sure is a great experience to watch the live a...

Wed Afternoon Stage 6. Chih-Ping Huang Chipin Huang General Taiwan A camera and photo-album act featuring pictures of magicians Copperfield, Tamariz, Topas etc. appearing on the back of card fans. Yes ... my response was the same. Craig, thank you for your reports. My response was: coloring book/po...

The "H. Becker" I was referring to is Herbert Becker who wrote this unfortunate book: http://www.amazon.com/All-Secrets-Magic-Revealed-Illusions/dp/0811907945/ref=la_B000APVP2W_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1340660597&sr=1-2 Several years ago as a teenager I watched on a Russian Circus TV show ...

Andres Reynoso

I agree with Richard. I purchased some books from Todd near a year ago and was a great service, great transaction and I received the books here in Mexico in very good condition.

Andres Reynoso

In Mexico the restaurant tip is for good service received, not for future visit. And well .... taxis ... there are good taxi drivers and there are very bad ones. Most of times you have to tell the driver where you want to go before board because they don't want to pick you to some places (too far, m...

Andres Reynoso

Thank you Richard, is good to know it

Cultural diferences:
Here in Mexico in restaurants the usual rate is 10%.
Bellboys, tourists guides and theater usher (e.g.) is at will, not rate stipulated.
And nobody uses to give tips in taxis.

I'll will have it in count ;)

Andres Reynoso

Thank you very much Brad. due to flight schedules I think my only opportunity is to the second show (9:00 pm) I think it ends at 11:00pm and last Lynx 111 bus stops at Disney Downtown Westside Transfer CTR at 10:55 I think I would have use a taxi. Any idea of the rate from Disney to Florida Mall? I ...

Andres Reynoso

In order to plan activities during my visit to Genii Bash... Someone knows if it's possible to book for Cirque du Soleil La Nouba without visit the Disney Park? I mean, I want to watch the show but no intention to visit the park (neither time nor money) Is it an independient atraction or is inside t...

Are you illustrating a book for your friend? ;)

jeje that are good news :) Maybe can we wait for a Hurricane, Swirl or Whirlpool?

Andres Reynoso

As I told to RK: this was the final blow and I sucumbed to the temptation. I couldn't resist it anymore :P

Andres Reynoso

Interesting issue. Definitely isn't a "normal" issue :D

Andres Reynoso

I agree with a lot of things said here: Everyones get tired of magic once in a while and it's related with your experience. I remember the first time I attended a convention: seated at my side in the teather was a famous magician. During the show he never applauded and only swirled in the seat. I di...

Andres Reynoso

Nowadays: Steinmeyer's Hidding the Elephant. Very interesting pieces of magic history

Andres Reynoso

Yes, I know it!!!!!

In fact I'm checking flights, looking for a good rate .... I want to succumb, seriously I want to sucumb.

Andres Reynoso

Ohhhhh Richard you are tempting me very much. My idea is to attend in July to SAM convention in my first USA trip .... but the Genii Bash lineup is simply irressitible. very very tempting. Pendragon says he would've cross the country to see Tamariz .... maybe I HAVE to cross the Gulf to see all this...

Andres Reynoso

Congratulations to both of you, receive my best wishes :D

Andres Reynoso

@Cornelius Jay: Yes, these are the Aladdin I mentioned. I have only used the "airflow finish" not the "smooth" @Edward Pungot: Effectively these cards are glued paperwith a cover :) I think are good cards (and cheaper in this case) I like them and standard bikes... And I don't li...

Andres Reynoso

I just finished Shattering Illusions by Jammy Ian Swiss. Great book. I have crossed feelings and a lot of things to think about ... not only in my magic, it will has effects in my daily live.
It deserves read it another and another time always with a notebook at hand

Andres Reynoso

Somebody have tried the Aladdin deck? Two years ago it was selled here in Mexico in a local department store (wal-mart subsidiary)for the equivalent of 2 dollars. half the price of bikes. I have work well with Aladdin, but sincerly I'm not good in feel diferences between USPC editions. A fellow magi...

Yesterday I watched the movie with my assitant. Terriffic!!! The story had an effect straight to my heart ... and I'm not corny!!! :P

Thank you Genii Forum, I became interested in the movie becouse I read about it here

Andres Reynoso

Yesterday the postman arrived riding an elephant with 18 pounds of magic literature :D

Andres Reynoso

I want to go ... I want to go .... but I think I couldn't :(
In past threads I proposed some names and a lot of them are announced!!!
What a sorrow I doubt could go to Orlando in October :'(

Andres Reynoso
