Greetings Margarette,

As everyones naming books a good author to read how bizarre is put into workable magical practice is Eugine Poinc... but all these books can be expensive... there are some amazing bizarre websites and they are free... google bizarre magic and we will see you in a few months... I advise to check all websites thouroughly these guys have some very clever ideas... genius... good luck...

Hey Beavis...the Grammer Hostess said 'TZZZZZZT'.

I'm nut sure what you meant by your first sentence. Do you have a question on Gene Poinc's work? I'm very familiar with it if you do. Gene and I were friends, and I know his one bizarre magic book very well, a bit about the two unreleased sequels (white and Black), and the yet unpublished carnival 2-book set.

Tony

I think he means the Eugene with the magic beard.

The "poinc" part was just a slight attack of tourettes.. you know, like the guy who goes, "Narf ! "

A must read.

Excellent Curator; it is a great piece. Thanks for posting this gem.

Are black and white ever going to be released? I love his scripting it must have been a blessing to have known such a genius... what a great influence...wow I really do attract those grammer nazi's...

No, just Grey.

Don't start with Autumn, she can "TZZZZZZT--!!" a lot more than bugs!

When I had finished his book a card slipped out of the last page which read' follow your dreams and your nightmares' gene poinc... its one of the best books I've ever read... anything else out there like it?

Yes, but they are hard to find. Look at Ron's work. Gene gave him the nickname KOTAH when they met. A very fitting name.

Gene's other works won't see the light of day because although they were complete and had been delivered to the publisher (Mary Tomich), after he passed, his famly members requested them back. Thinking they could find a better deal and make more money off of his works, they approached a few other publishers, did not like what was said, and that was the end of that.


Tony

Wow... yes I have ' by darkness influenced' and ' a darker light ' but not read em yet... thanks... who might be some of those hard to find? I am extremely interested...

I just bought garden of the strange, waiting for it... is this a similar approach? I love what I've read of his on the net...

You can all drool now...Ron Dayton sends me exclusive little stories to read...I tell him they are terrible so only I will ever get to read them. haha Just kidding...They are not terrible.

T Eye: Autumn knows who I am...on a few levels. I'm planning on doing a full size Oil ainting of her avatar.

I am awaiting the arrival of "Capricornian Tales" and in the meantime, re-reading "Tricks of the Imagination" along with a couple of my hauntings books. I know "Tricks of the Imagination" isn't quite a bizarre magic book, it is great for properly putting together a storytelling routine. Some of the routines in there can easily have a ghost/haunting story adapted to them.

Autumn, don't you think the guys in the Memphis magic club will have a fit when I do my first bizarre routine for them?
