Billy,
This is just a wild idea, and I don't know for sure what they're
worth, or how they got here, but, now that I've found my two Bill Tarr
books, Now You See It, Now You Don't, etc., see how much $$$ you can get
for them online from someone (...like,
he-who-must-not-be-named-in-my-house!!!) and I will split it with you
fifty-fifty, for your B-Day, OK?
These guys must love books, right? (...you know, real paper and ink
thingy's...) if they're anything like me...always lurking for a good
deal in the most unlikely belfries and dusty attics...hahaha! ...like
me...nobody from nowhere...hehehehe...
Your friend,
Bob S.

YES, YES, YES, by all means beg, borrow, or steal 25 TRICKS WITH A
BOTTOMLESS GLASS. It usually comes with it when you buy a new one.
Here's just one item to get you started:
Have someone take out a bill, sign it, and fold the bill. Hold out
the glass and ask them to drop the bill inside as you turn your head
away. Have them drape a fairly large silk over the glass, then seal
it with a rubberband around the rim. Place glass on table and head
for the corner to concentrate with your Dry Erase Board or mini Chalk
board. The number comes to you psychicly, you write it down and
return. Pick up the glass, have the silk and rubber band removed,
NEVER TOUCHING THE BILL, pour it out into the spectators hands. He
opens it, you turn around the Dry Erase board, IT'S A MATCH...YOU'RE A
GOD!!! Well, for several minutes anyway.
SECRET: Rather obvious when you know the MO. Hold the glass by it's
bottom, they drop the bill right into your hand. THEY drape and seal
the glass. You place it on the table as you steal away the bill. In
the corner, or simply with your back turned, you do the monkey
business. Re-fold the bill and reverse the process to return the bill
to the glass.
I'm telling you Al, this kills!!!
Nobody has a clue, even most of these "young" magicians, as that old
stuff couldn't possibly contain anything of value. LOL...what they
should be doing is pounding on my door begging me to let them photo-
copy some of these OLD instruction sheets. I've got the good stuff.

As I recall BOUND TO PLEASE even comes with a Bicycle back card with
the stack printed on the front of the card. I love Simon Aaronson's
material, but, dare I say this, I've heard from other magicians that
his lectures will put you to sleep. It's like listening to a robot
talk, they say. Memory work can be boring as hell if you can't get
the audience invested. I'm far too lazy to commit to this, and I'm
almost ashamed to admit the rise I get out of people when I use a
marked deck for the same memory stunt this guy took years to perfect.
I know, it's like finding out Ricky Jay is using a store bought
Stripper deck to accomplish what looks like decades of intense card
work, or the Moon landing was shot in a clandestine film studio. But
you know, this balsphemy might just contain more than a grain of
truth.

Allan Ackerman (I forget which of his books) stated it wouldn't have
been possible w/o a teaching job where he got to practice card magic
10 hours a day! It's all about your position in life. Derek Vernon
once stated "my father was the world's greatest card magician. As a
father, he was the world's greatest card magician."
Mitch, your a single guy with little responsibilities and and
encylopedic knowledge of magic. Get out and perform! I just learned
within the past few years that the REAL interesting secrets of magic
isn't in an obscure book. It's how to sell yourself and do gigs with
ease.
Don't worry about being an obese ogre - because I am too! (My heaviest
was 300+ pounds). You definately have the personality. Live off $4
walmart perscriptions, travel - Mark Lewis never drove a car in his
life and he is successful.
Zen Buddhist do their sand garden every morning even though it can get
destroyed in an hour or by the end of the day. They do it day in and
day out to remind them selves there are things you can't control in
life, but they still go out and do it. Even if you don't perform,
compile the mountain of info you have posted over the years and sell
it before google vanishes it into obscurity. You have more
potentional than most people I know.

Bill,
There is this video on youtube of Jimmy Grippo with Orsen Wells where
he does a routine with a marked deck and card index (I'm guessing
that's how he did it) and it is the slickest best routine ever:

Bill, did you and Bob Scofield ever make up one of my marked decks? I
posted the secret here in the group several years ago. It's designed
for magicians as the marks are more in the center of the card,
whereras marked cards for gamblers are usually in the upper left hand
corner of both ends. All you need are a red or blue fine point
Sharpie marker and a deck of red or blue Bicycle cards. You can mark
a deck in about 15 minutes and the marks are all but invisible. I
used to sell these at the swap meet for $20 to $30 per deck. Hand
marked cards are usually more expensive than factory marked cards.
I'm working on a way to apply the Deland marked deck system to a
Bicycle deck using a single key card. I've always liked the Deland
deck but it's so well known that you can't even use it to perform
simple magic tricks-- I think every kid in the world has had a Deland
deck at one time or another.

Subject: Comedy Central Mocking Jesus Christ

More insults and attacks against Jesus Christ and Christians.
Why is it that it is OK to insult, make fun of and damn
Jesus/Christians,
but oh no we can't say anything against the damnable Muslim hate
and murderous religious agenda.
Please read below and add your name to the petition.
Thanks and God Bless!
The Comedy Central network has a long history of denigrating
Jesus Christ and the Christian faith. Now, they are developing
A new series called "JC" that will openly mock Jesus and give
Comedy Central even more time and latitude to increase their
Attacks on a religion practiced by 80 percent of Americans.
Just weeks ago, Comedy Central censored a depiction of the
Prophet Mohammad after intense Muslim protest. But Christians
Are fair game!
I am outraged by this unabashed double standard, and I'm
Protesting against Comedy Central and its parent company Viacom
And their plans to air this show mocking Christians.
I have just added my name to a Media Research Center petition,
And I'm urging you to do the same by clicking here now:
http://www.mrcaction.org/555/petition.asp?PID=24641172&NID=1
We cannot allow the Hollywood Elite and the left-wing media
To continue to savage Christians. That's why I'm taking
Action and I hope you will do the same.
Thanks for joining with me.

Does Bob have all of the Karl Fulves books? What area of magic is he
interested in? I'd rip some magic CDs for him if I weren't afraid his
old lady would confiscate them, especially knowing they came from that
diabolical Mitch Leary, whom she believes is the anti-christ. I could
set him up with a hell of a magic library if he'd just grow a pair and
get rid of her.
