Over the last few years I've made quite a few posts in this section of the board sharing my advice and thoughts on magic. I'm honored that some of them where so well received and judging by the numerous Emails and PM's I've received on them I'm glad they've been helpful to some of you.
So what I've done is I gathered all of them together and placed them on an E-book )PDF). So instead of having to spend hours searching for them all (they span about 5 years I think). You'll be able to find them all in this one book. Each post included's a link to the discussion it's from so you can visit back here on the board and contribute to that discussion. Visit the below link to the E-book or right click it to download. http://www.magicjax.com/cafepost.pdf I hope someone finds this useful. Ron Jaxon |

Ron, your posts have been stupendous! Seriously, I really bought Bill Burner just so I could send you some money! (But I'm glad it turned out to be such a GREAT effect!)

I just finished reading this free ebook, and I've got to say, Ron, that it is incredible! You could have easily charged for this. It is so good that I felt guilty reading it for free, so I went to your site and ordered Perpetuity Tube just to send you some more money.

Wow, that is by far one of the best E-Books I have read. Including the ones I have paid for, I think I might do what airship did and go buy some things from your site just to send you some money!!!

Thanks guys. I'm glad you like it.
I did show this to a couple of magician friends of mine before I posted the link to it here and they told me I should charge for it. That didn't feel right to me because all the information in it is already posted here on the Café so why charge for something that's already out there for nothing? I did put a donations link at the very bottom of the E-book but I don't really plan to make any money off it. Like I said, it's already public and free. The best payment to me would be to find out some part of it was beneficial to someone. It makes me feel like I did something right for a change. A lot of magicians share advice here on the board, but I have a suggestion. I hope more magicians will come here and just share the lessons they've learned. Not only when someone asks for it though. One doesn't have to be an "advanced magician" to do this. No matter what stage we're in we learn our lessons through experience. If happen to run into a problem and find a solution, maybe you can take a few minutes and share that solution here. If your 'e solution is about a certain trick or gimmick and I had a problem with that. I would search here on the board and maybe find your post. This board can be a great tool and can be worth more then any book you'll ever find. Ron Jaxon |

Great read! It reads more like something that was well planned, rather than a collection of posts over time. It has a subtle structure with recurring themes, which gives it a nice flow. Also, it contains honest and practical advice, delivered in a friendly, helpful manner. Well Done!!!

I just finished reading, and although I'm not new to magic I feel that all of that info is spectacular and perfect for new magicians.

Ron's posts are NEVE idle vaporings. In my opinion, he's one of the most houghtful and insightful people on the Café' so people, when he posts something like this - READ IT!
I just downloaded it and am looking forward to it, myself. I know that I will learn a thing or two - and I've only been around a few years - like just shy of 40! Lee Darrow, C.H.

I used to read Ron's posts over at the KJMagic board before I discovered the Café. Glad I don't have to use the search function this time. A very easy way to ready many helpful and interesting posts. Thanks Ron!

Ron,
As you write, you have had help from many magicians while learning. You are paying that help back to the community with compounded interest in your insightful posts here at the Café. I agree with you on not charging money for the document, but the donation link is a great idea. Every time I learn something new related to magic, I ask myself if it is worth sharing with the Café members. Sadly, most of what I have learned this far has been FROM the Café, from posts by yourself, and numerous others that share their hard gained knowledge. Perhaps one day I have something to contribute, in the meantime I keep in mind where I would be without the Café and the wonderful people here. Thanks again for sharing! Michael |
