Since Call Of The Wild is one of my favorite releases I decided to go ahead. If you are not familiar with it… check out the trailer.

Animation and flip books are always fascinating to watch.

In 1995 Mark Setteducati in conjunction with Milton-Bradley released his most ambitious magic creations: The Electronic Talking Magic Works.

Astor was in the US and contacted me about his new trick where you visually produce money and immediately hand it out.

Regular readers of this newsletter know that some of the things that fascinate me are puzzles and optical illusions. Many of the ones I offered you over the years are now impossible to get.

This week’s release is a PDF of David Roth’s second set of lecture notes. A highlight is the little-known routine of The Linking Coins.

Phil Cass’ Three Shell Game routine is considered the best.

I on the other hand always look at the break even point first and let luck decide on the profit end. That way I can work on stuff that I like, that might have a limited audience, and once in a while what I like also becomes a big commercial success.

I first saw Rocco Silano perform with his Countdown Coins gimmick at a lecture many years ago and I was impressed with the applications.

Geoff Latta was a friend of mine. We spent tens, if not hundreds, of hours showing each other magic during the time I worked at Tannen’s and for a few years after.
