I just returned from the AMA (Asian Magicians Association) convention in Hong Kong, which hosted the FISM Asia Championships. I had the pleasure of performing alongside the very talented Tim Ellis in the Close-Up Gala, and he drew huge cheers from the crowd.
Well, Tim has just released a book, and the gross he brought to the convention went in a flash. The following is from Alan Watson's e-zine (which I strongly suggest you subscribe to: http://www.magicnewzealand.com/
14. New Book 'Timeless Magic'
Message by Tim Ellis (Aust)
I'm just back from Hong Kong and the 8th Asian Magic Association Convention and it was amazing!
Congratulations to all the winners in the Asia FISM Championship and all the best as you prepare to compete in Blackpool 2012. There is truly some exciting and innovating magic going on in Asia at the moment!
While at the convention I had the pleasure of launching my new book 'Timeless Magic'. 150 pages filled with 25 tricks and lots of essays and articles culled from the last 35 years.
The book sold out at my lectures but if you'd like to grab a copy for Christmas you can get it in either hardcover ($50) or paperback ($35) by going here: http://australianmagician.com/news/565- ... -sale.html

Re: New Tim Ellis Book
Thanks for the mention Richard! It was fun spending time with you in Hong Kong too, especially at Mos Burger!
My book has already received one review:
Review By Ed Underwood
"
Tim Ellis' magic has always lived up to two key words: practical and powerful. His creations have high visual impact on the audience, leave plenty of room for personal creativity and at least for me, quickly become favorites that rise to the top of my "A" list of repeat material. Thank you Tim for your sharing your years of hard work and innovation!"

Re: New Tim Ellis Book
After the audience at FISM Asia saw Tim lecture, he sold a load of these new books in Hong Kong, so they must have seen something they liked! The Genii says: buy your copy today.

For those who didn't get to the AMA Convention, it was a whole lot of fun.
Here's a clip of my appearance on the Stage Gala just to give you an idea of the energy in the place.

Re: New Tim Ellis Book
I've always enjoyed Tim's stuff and ordered the hard cover copy of the book from Lulu. I just got it today.
Well produced and beautifully packaged for shipment. It took about 2 weeks.
In all honesty, at $50.00 I would have been a little disappointed, but at $35.00 I'm very pleased.
Now, I'll get to reading.

Re: New Tim Ellis Book
I received Tim's hardcover a few days ago, and after thumbing though it, I'm excited to read it in detail. Tim has been one of my favorite magicians for many years because of the choices he makes in structure and impact. His personality also goes a long way in his shows.
Thanks for the heads up, Richard.
