What are the credits/history on the DVD?
Just curious.

Thanks.

Doc,

I just recently received this. Jason has a section on what he knows of the history of the Cootie Catcher in magic, and mentions your use of it in "Everything is Funnier With Monkeys." He also cites Rune Klan, Steve Beam, and David Parr as others who have worked with the "Cootie Catcher" concept.

I'm having fun learning his approaches and my mind is buzzing with ideas of my own.

I also have a prediction effect with a cootie catcher which has been in my lecture for years and was even published in Genii Magazine. I got no credit it seems.

Angelo, when your routine was published in Genii, I didn't receive credit for my routine in Everything is Funnier with Monkeys (1997).
These things happen.

Respectfully,

DD

Hi Doc!

Oops my bad! I didn't know and can understand now. My sincere apologies for not crediting similar work.

Angelo

Well played everyone
