How can it be that another whole year has passed already? With a month before the deadline, I may come up with an entry this time around. Thanks for doing this again, Jack.

Excellent chances to win here. Make my better half happy so she can get her wish of me giving away some of my magic collection. Just tell us what you learned over the pandemic...details here:

Folks, we're getting down to the wire and y'all are lazy. :)
Okay, here are some of the choices you're playing for in the Contest grab bag:

The Collected Almanac
by Mr. Kaufman
Mark Wilson's Complete Course in Magic
Mainly Mental by C.L. Boarde (not that easy to find!)
Sankey Pankey by Mr. Kaufman
The Coney Island Fakir (Al Flosso) by Gary Brown
Close-Up Magic Secrets by Diamond Jim Tyler
Six out of Seven of the Eli Marks magician mystery series by John Gaspard (these are a hoot!)

and more.

But you gotta be in it to win it. It just requires talking about your experiences.

Don't pass this up!

We're getting to the end now--Monday is the deadline. There are still excellent chances to win one of the prizes, but more, to share your knowledge.

Thought I just wasn't gonna have the time to participate this year. But I'm in, and on track to make the deadline.

Last call!:

Deadline Tuesday, November 2, 11:59 PM. In case of a tie, earlier entries get preference.

(I made a mistake in the previous post!--I forgot that I had given you election day to send them in.)

It's not any harder than writing a Genii post--you just share some of your experiences over the past year or so.
