Good luck Slim, just contributed through Paypal.
Hope it helps!

I am terriably sorry to hear this, This has deeply touched me. As the motto goes "Magicians helping Magicians" and I will respond to it. I also respect my elders so I will definatly help out. I will run a magical event to raise money for you I have good links with magicians. Just P.M me and give me details on where to send the money.

My thoughs and prayers are with you.

Master of Deception.

HI SLIM GOOD TO HERE THAT BIG AND SMALL ARE HELPING .......iT WAS MY INTENTION TO TRY AND HAVE EVERYONE TO HELP..
I did not mention any names just wanted my point to come across
and I am very happy this is happening ....

Never have much cash to speak of but, I sent my rework of the classic:

Impromptu Blindfolded card routine. A three phase that's stripped down from the original Weigle/Thompson 4 phase routine. (properly credited of course) Use any deck and any real blindfold method.(let the specs pick the props, you don't need to see to do it) I removed the difficult card mechanics and made it easy to learn and perform.

(No Patter other than Thompson's opening but man if your blindfolded, working a deck of cards and you don't come up with tons of spontaniously funny patter there is something wrong right there.)

Its nice to be able to do a short card set under impossible circumstances. Hope folks like it. Works fine for me.

Who's collecting the tricks? I got one that I've been working on based off something I posted to Secret Sessions a while back that I'd like to submit. I'd also like to buy a copy when the ebook is ready.
Steve

Nevermind, I just saw the post in the private messages sections. I'll write up my modest contribution and send it shortly.
Steve

Hey guys!

So far, for the compilation book, I've received 8 tricks. I think if we get about 15 or 20 tricks, that should be good. I've also got an artist who will quickly and easily donate some killer art work for the project.

Thanks for all the contributions so far. Again, if you'd like to donate a trick to a book whose proceeds will help Slim and Krista, email the trick to [email]slim_krista@stonecoldmagic.com[/email]

Slim,

I'm sorry to hear about this, but everyone knows you and Krista are going to come out on top Since I'm younger, I'm not able to offer a place to stay, but I am going to be sending some money to your Paypal account. I'm also sending a trick in for that PDF.

I love the idea about the CD! I highly suggest you come out with some notes if you can, since I know almost everyone here at the Café would by them! Best of luck,

Adam

(I'll post again once I send the money)

The skills that you have used to help people in both the magic and sideshow community, could be used to help bump up your saving with some cash?
all the best

Slim,
I just tried to PM you but for some reason it returned back to me.... Just wanted to say that the "things" we discussed were sent out this morning to you. Post office say's that they should take 5 - 7 day's.

If I can be of any help or support my mail box is always open.
Bri

Slim,

A small concern, but I wondered if this was any use.
Some companies do worldwide mail boxes (e.g. mailboxes etc). I don't know how much they charge, but perhaps this would be of use to you if you need to receive mail and can't get it dropped off at a friends house.

Kevin.

Hey everyone. I've received 9 effects so far (2 from myself), for the "help slim" book. I'm gonna wait a few more days to see if there are any more donations. Otherwise, I will go ahead and put everything together. Again, donated tricks for the book can be sent to slim_krista@stonecoldmagic.com

Jeff - I'll send something tomorrow.

I'll also more than happily host it on one of my sites - either 'Magic Notes' or 'Underground Collective' - probably the latter - totally free of charge, all proceeds going to Slim.

I'll also add a 'Sales' counter to the page so everyone can track the progress of the project!

Sound good ? Mail me at jamie@underground-collective.com and we can discuss.

Regards,

Jamie.

We want to thank everyone for the help and the gifts. Real magic is in your hearts.
Slim & Krista

JStone: Just sent an rtf file. Hope you can open it as it is formated to use as is.
Thanks
Doug

Doug,

Got it... Thanks... that makes ten effects, so I'm gonna start lacing it up, and I'll get my artist cracking on it ASAP...

Anyone who wants to continue donating effects, feel free to, but even if no one else contributes, we've got a decent book on our hands. Again, donated effects can be mailed to slim_krista@stonecoldmagic.com

Slim,
Will you be in Rhode Island at all?
Jeff

The cash is on it's way. It feels like a 'too small' gesture though, and yes I know that you are very greatful Slim.

I'm really looking forward to the book/CD/DVD/t-shirt being available so I can get them too.

Bid-On-Magic.com is willing to help!

If anyone is interested, I can create a special category for Slim. If everyone lists 1 item in the "Help Slim" category and donates the profits, I think it would really help. This way, not only will you get rid of a piece of magic you are not currently using, you can get new magic yourself by bidding on other's items.

Listing your item is FREE and there are NO COMMISSIONS! Please email auctionmanager@bid-on-magic.com if anyone thinks this is a good idea.

Thanks,

Thanks, all! Some of you know my teaching of sideshow arts (and a little magic) had to do with opening our home. Now that (soon) we will be questing the country, Krista and I will be open to "house calls." We will continue to teach hands-on of all the sideshow arts. I think I will be selling professional fire-eating torches as well. Our mail drop address will be:
