Re: The Holy Grail of Color Separation
I would have to agree with Pete on this one. Not that it is specific to this effect alone. I watched the video and the effect seemed nice.

Re: The Classic Card Trimmer Revised
I am sure whatever you make it from you will not sell it unless it is off the top quality. I just recently made a "short" deck and did not even know you could round the corners like that, or that there was a device you could purchase. I think at the lower end price you will sell more, even...

Re: EMAILS LOST - COMPUTER WIPED

If you get a higher end laptop right now, you should get a couple of years worth of use out of it. And most of the ...

Re: Biloxi magic?
I have spent some time in Biloxi for work over the past few years and I have NEVER seen a magic shop anywhere in town. Not in the casinos and nothing listed in the phone book. I have not been there in since Jan 2004 so it may have changed, but I am not holding my breath.

Re: Elmsley's Ever Change Count
Bob, you really should spend the extra $40 to get Volume 1 of the Collected Works of Alex Elmsley. They are two of the best books I own and you will not be wasting your money. Next time you go to buy s $35 DVD with 6 tricks on it, spend the extra cash and get the book.

Try contacting Johnson Products. I was told at one time that all their coins come with a lifetime warranty, and if the coins are worn they may very well replace it. Worth a try. I don't know how to contact them, check with your local dealer.
