The Lecture Network: Whatever happened to the DVD?

[John Houdi]

In October 2008 Jeff Hobson and Loren Christopher Michaels ended the Lecture Network project.
Members received an e-mail stating a DVD will be produced and mailed to all members.
Whatever happened to tha DVD? Did someone receive the DVD?

This is the orignal e-mail sent out:

Dear Members,

DATE: October 3, 2008:

Due to many circumstances beyond our control, we must virtually close the
doors of The Lecture Network.

We understand that there are a number of you who have joined and paid for
a membership who are presently active. Due to bills beyond our cash flow,
there is no money left for a refund. However, we want to make the best
effort to reconcile with you, our members.

We are in the process of taking all of our many interviews, lectures and
special events and compiling them into an impressive DVD collection. This
large collection will be professionally produced and shipped to each
actively paid member as of this writing. The monetary value of this
collection would far exceed the price paid for one subscription to The
Lecture Network. This project will take sometime to finish to a
professional standard but will keep you posted when nearing the shipping
date. Please confirm your correct shipping address in an e-mail to:
support@thelecturenetwork.com We need to receive a return shipping
address from you in order to put you on the list of DVD collection
recipients. If you are not an active, paid member as of this writing, you
will not receive the DVD collection.

We would give our sincerest apologies to those of you who have been
supportive of The Lecture Network. We would've liked nothing more than to
continue our broadcasts of top magical performers and lecturers from around
the world. We have enjoyed the adventure being the first, live,
interactive broadcasting network especially for magicians. We had hoped
that more magicians would have realized the value of our service. We are
very glad you did.

We thank you for your understanding and trust that the TLN DVD collection
will be a wonderful reminder of the learning and fun we all had on The
Lecture Network.

Sincerely,

Jeff Hobson and Loren Christopher Michaels / Founders of The Lecture
Network

Yes, the DVD's are being processed for distribution to members who were paid subscribers at the time of the dissolution of The Lecture Network.

It took longer than expected to compress and edit the existing materials being that Loren Christopher Michaels was doing all of the work solo.

The project has been passed to Todd Karr from the Miracle Factory. He will finish
the final edit and make copies for all subscribers in good standing. The date is uncertain as I'm not sure how long it will take Todd to finish. He will have the complete list of members when it's time to ship.

Thank you for your patience and your trust.

Jeff Hobson

Yes, it was a very sad day when it closed but there just weren't enough supporters to keep it open. Would've loved to have to on the show. . . . .
