A Stone's Throw ... July Issue of Genii on its Way to You
Posted: June 11th, 2010, 4:34 pm
Our July issue with Mr. Tom Stone on the cover has left the printer and should shortly start reaching the first batch of subscribers.
Max Maven writes the cover story on the Swedish Stone, with Stephen Minch doing a secondary story on the production of Tom's new book Vortex, published by Hermetic Press.
Tom Stone contributes four tricks and three essays:
"Amore Hotel"
No Script is Also a Script
"Sentient Sand"
The Dunning-Kruger Effect
"Oh No! Thimbles"
You are Brilliant!
"Glitching the Aces"
Dustin Stinett brings you the only full coverage of the 42nd Academy of Magical Arts Awards Show to be published in our field, accompanied by the beautiful photos of Kari Hendler.
Max Maven eulogizes our old friend Martin Gardner.
Our columnists this month include:
Roberto Giobbi, and in his "Genii Session" he delves once more into the mysteries of the Deck Switch.
Jim Steinmeyer, and in his "Conjuring" he divulges a great stand-up "Cards Across" he calls "Zens Koan."
Eugene Burger, and in his "Showmanship Interviews" he speaks with Tobias Beckwith, manager of Jeff McBride and Marco Tempest.
Richard Kaufman (oh, that's me) and Jon Racherbaumer chit-chat in their usual fashion in "Genii Speaks" and "On the Slant."
Danny Orleans reviews tricks, including Will Houstoun's new "Freak," which is breaking fingers around the world.
Dustin Stinett reviews DVDs, including a new title by Bob White, and and Ponta the Smith's "Sick," which is also breaking fingers around the world, but for a different reason.
Jamy Ian Swiss reviews books, including one he liked very much on audience management by Gay Ljungberg.
