The Best of Magic by John Fisher

Discussions of new films, books, television shows, and media indirectly related to magic and magicians. For example, there may be a book on mnemonics or theatrical technique we should know or at least know about.

I've got them all on DVD (originally recorded from TV to my old Beta machine). If I can locate them, I'll see if I can pass on the info... PG

I suppose it sounds petty, but I can't help but mention that although I'm not listed as having been on Season One, Episode 3, I was.

Not at all, and I corrected the entry.

Because I can (to borrow a phrase).

D'OH! Sorry Max. :blush:

I know that you were in all 6 shows of season 1! I (somehow) managed to miss entering your name in the right bit.

Oh, and thanks Dustin for sorting the post out.

Best wishes
