The Genii Forum

Does anyone know of the future, if any, of this fantastic publication? Never have I seen such a high quality product released and such a reasonable price.

;)

I finally managed to chat with Jose about this yesterday. He's back in Argentina for a while then to Spain once more - sounds like his life is a little hectic at the moment. He did say that EGO will be back soon though.

He also said that he's wiling to refund TEN times anyone's subscription fees if they wish to cancel their order for EGO ! What a guy ;-)

Ego is not dead, I took a time to prepare a new concept for a e-zine. On March 1st, the new issue will be online.

I sent Jose an order for 201 subscriptions immediately: one copy to keep and 200 to help buy that Honolulu condo from where I will be reading the one copy.

PS: Jose, I took a look at the site and am ready to send an order to you (only one! ;) ) I guess you will have new subscription information available soon?

Woo-hoo! At last! I've been the current issue for what seems forever.

Now I can't wait for next weekend! :D

Thanks for the info Jose!

Jose -- I've gotten all the issues via e-mail, but when I go to the site and try to download any of them, it prompts me for a username and password. Did I miss something? Do I need to set up a username/password, and if so, how do I do it?

Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim,
Plase send me an email (jmuniz@equal.com.ar) and I'll give you the username and password.
Regards
Jose :)

Closer.... but still no new issue???

Hi everyone,

The latest issue of Ego contains my early works on the pass and several other items. Soon after it's publishing, Mr.Harvey Rosenthal has sent me an email:

Hi Zenneth:

Your issue of EGO described a move called the "Zendwich Pass."

The move described is mine and is in my 1977 card book published by Karl Fulves. I have many variations and applications of the sleight.

I contributed a movie of one of my sandwich effects to the TSD Video Section approximately two years ago that uses this exact move. See "Believe It Or Not." This sandwich handling was shown to a number of cardmen in New York City in the early 1960s. I did it for Ed Marlo in Chicago during a session we had in 1967. It was shown and taught to Steve Draun in Chicago a few years later. I also did the trick for Roy Walton in 1969 and Gordon Bruce in 1975.

Again, the move is mine and appears with many applications in "Packet Switches (Part Three), a book dealing with card sleights and tricks, most of which were devised between 1957 and 1962.

Harvey Rosenthal

I want to make few points clear:

1, As the matter of fact, Mr. Harvey Rosenthal deserves the Credit.

2, I came up with the move around 1 year ago, and I honestly didn't know it's the creation of Mr.Harvey Rosenthal, and I hate thief.

3, Althought I wrote a one man issue for Ego, I am not a member of TSD, that's why I can't reply Mr. Harvey Rosenthal's message at TSD. However, I feel the need to make the issue clear, members of TSD who also surf the Genii forum please forward this message or paste it at TSD.

Many thanks!

Zenneth

There is a new J K Hartman one man issue of "Ego" on line. It's 42 pages of really good material.
