Yeah Alan, all those things are "Cherries on the top" about him as well, I agree. All in all, he's just a great individual and honorable man and sorry to have seen him have to go through all the nonsense and disrespect he endured. He certainly did not deserve such based upon all the wonderful magic he brought (and continues to bring) so humbly/so prolifically to the table for us all.
Hey, I happened to see a Digital Dissolve this past week and the old Dusheck model was better made, covers the coin much better, if you know what I mean.

I look at his web site now and then to see what he is offering now but there's not really any of his effects there anymore.
Thanks! Jim |

Steve has retired from producing most all of his magic. His current offerings are, mostly, his business card magic, which is quite ingenious.
My ex-cat was named "Muffin". "Vomit" would be a better name for her. AKA "The Evil Ball of Fur".

This inexpensive DVD ($10 plus $2 shipping) is a must have for magicians young and old. You have to look past the production values, but if you do you will find that the DVD contains very complete explanations of many of Steve's best illusions (including Digital Dissolve although he didn't call it that at the time, of course) and Steve's ideas about presentation and magic theory. I don't know why Steve insists on selling it for so little, but young magicians would be well advised to learn that the more you pay for something doesn't necessarily mean the more you get. I bought this DVD a while ago and I am still learning from it. Regards, Alan |

Hi All,
Does anyone do this with dollars. I just got a dollar size copper coin that fits nicely inside my morgan S[. Is it overkill using dollar size or does it make the effect stronger? kind regards Sean |
