Yes, PKG, we're glad to see you back. I love Pentalogy, and there are around 999 more books that I want to acquire, including "Devil of a Bar and Pub." There are so many great books out now.

Speaking of which, Bill. . . when is "coming soon" going to mean "available now!"

Between moving out, wedding plans (yikes), I can't afford to even THINK about buying a book for the time being!!! Xmas and bday are just around the corner though!!! muwahahahahaha (this is when I take full advantage of my christianity muwahahahah again)

Mark, in my life there are always snags. My problem now is the stupid "wind-up" computer I am using. It won't work with DSL, and uploading would take HOURS on the phone line, Besides, the stupid computer keeps changing my book file -- graphics moved around, blank pages inserted, pages missing.... Unbelievable! I knew there was something wrong about that creepy little gnarled green guy I bought it from! I should have been suspicious when the door opened in the mushroom and he came out.

Greetings

I love the Pea can routine idea that's fabulous.

I will put some thought into my own routine as there is lots of different ways you could use a pea can to transform all sorts of objects.

Thank you for getting my mental cogs a turning

Every possible traditional effect may be used for "bizarre" storytelling magic.
Storytelling magic (I prefer than bizarre) is other way to view illusionism as an art form.
Look at my version of the ambitious card routine if you don't understand the "hows".

The complete routine is in the October issue of Magic magazine.

That's a wonderfull routine and I will check out the full routine in Magic Magazine.

Thank you for sharing this.

I do my abitious card around a gyspy curse.
