Wesley James "Stop Fooling Us" contents:
WJ Travellers [sic] - Four Aces to pockets Kannibal Kings & Koins - Standard Cannibal Kings plot; the four Kings "eat" selected cards. The "Koin" aspect is a kicker ending wherein the "Kings "eat" a silver dollar Ascanio Spread - A very clean handling of this standard sleight/display Coins Thru Table - Very nice handling of this classic effect that eliminates many of the fishy counts and recounts so common for this effect WJ Click Lap - original lapping technique WJ Sweep Lap - original lapping technique WJ Snap Retention Pass - A very clean retention pass of a coin that is a bit knacky (that means I haven't mastered it yet) Bill Flite - a borrowed bill transposition involving a spectators hand and your own (ala sponge balls) Spread Cut Aces - Spectator cut to the Aces L.S.D. Aces - Very fun Ace assembly with a surprise ending; so named because the Aces "take a trip". My all-time favorite impromtu Ace assembly Forgery - A card effect that is apparently not a card trick so much as magic performed with the spectator's signature Jack Off - the magical penetration of a punched playing card through the ribbon it's threaded on (and Lee Asher thought HE invented riske titles). Includes a nice one-of-two-selections force - the James/Crandall Force Notes are recommended for close-up workers who want to study the real thing from an expert. Regards, Thomas Wayne

Though I haven't picked up this set of notes yet (I'll be getting them from him soon), I have met Wes in person as well as chatted with him online on many occasions. Wes is a terrific magician and really understands how magic works. I'd recommend checking out anything he puts out, because I know there is always a tremendous amount of thought behind what he does.

Great, thorough review, Thomas! Are the notes detailed enough to be able to learn the material without having attended the lecture? And where are they available? Your review has me intrigued.
I'm a fan of Wes' stuff fromthe fulves publications and elsewhere, and this sounds like a great collection.

I'll post it here when I get it. -Jim The new address for the Magical Tools website is here: Magical Tools -Jim

So everything of his that I've learned (and even some of the stuff I haven't learned) I got strictly from his writings. I consider it to be clearly and thoroughly taught from the text and illustrations. Regards, Thomas Wayne
