I never get fun stuff.

Sad

2 years ago I got a scarf, that was pretty sweet...

I bought myself some presents though- Verbal Magic, Scripting Magic, and a prostitute.

Also planning on hitting up New York. Got some friends to crash with, some places to see, and hopefully meet up with a young lady (or 3).

I hope I find new underwear/socks under the tree this year.

NICE BEN!, im sure were all very jealous:) .

Im looking foward to only a few things.

- True Astonishments by Paul Harris
- briefcase production
- cardiographic by Martin Lewis
- Ring leader by Gregory Wilson
- mind blowing by James Biss

Have a Merry, Merry, Magical Christmas!! Smile

Reuben The Great

Ben, in regards to what you said. Hittin' up New York?

That;s the name of a stripper, right?

OH SNAP!

Ben Train

That would probably be cheaper...

Smile

I'm a big art buff (or, at least, I wish I was!) and a big fan of magic, so I've combined my two loves. Getting to hang with some great guys during the day, see the museums, then hang with some lady friends at night.

It's, how do you say, a perfect trip?

Ben Train

Oh, and if you guys are looking for presents for me:

I want the Regal book (luv him more then Hannah Montanah!) and some new couches...

The only magic related item on my Christmas list this year is Freakey by Greg Wilson. I love the organic feel of using keys rather than coins for copper/silver.

Michael Kras

I'm still curious as to what it is about Freakey that justifies the $100 price tag.

Anyways, my updated and finalized list... knowing my dad, I will almost certainly be getting most of what I asked for Razz

.

Verbal Magic by Juan Tamariz
Past Midnight by Benjamin Earl
No Card Tricks by Jay Sankey
22 Blow To The Head by Jay Sankey
Tangled Web by Eric Mead

Liam

I got me a five week trip to england, scotland, whales, ireland and other countries in the area
and also a contact juggling ball, ring leader, darwins encyclopedia of tt magic, and the classic force with paul green, and 3510

Michael Kras

Great load Liam! (Stop thinking that).

Welcome GWmagician!!!

Liam

and my mom asked me for a birthday list of magic stuff worth about 75$
and today she made me help go through check out on penguin magic! I got everything i wanted.
3510 has really turned me onto mentalism so i have on its way:
-Emotional Intelligence by Luke Jermay
-Leading Reading by Luke Jermay (cold reading stuff to improve EI)
-Psychokinetic Touches by Banachek
-Practical Mental Magic by Theodore Annemann (they didnt have any 13 steps in stock, so i went for second best)
-Expert at the Card Table by S.W. Erdnase Book

And as free bonuses i got:
-Color Conscious by Luke Jermay
-Alvo Stockman's Elixir of Life

Any comments on this stuff?
I tried to get some classics that i think you will all aprove of, and some new stuff that you guys might think was a waste of money.

Michael Kras

Sounds like a great start but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE FIND A COPY OF 13 Steps. You NEED it... every mentalist does.

When you get more and more into it, I can't recommend Prism by Max Maven more highly. One of my favourite mentalism books.

Reuben The Great

Hey, my bday was the 28th, when was yours?!

Liam

its on the 7th of january

and i got a copy of 13 steps
just finished step three and i know why everyone raves about it

Liam

And a side note, did you guys know that it is no longer in print?
They have stopped printing them... i'm glad i got mine now
