I first got to know this from Dan Brown's book "Angels and Demons".

Does anyone know how I can get one of these created with my name? Are there people out there who offer this service ?
Thanks, David Corsaro

Awesome!
I have just finished reading "The Da Vinci Code" (also by Dan Brown), sounds like I had better start "Angels and Demons"! Owen |

See the result below after 10 trials in 15 minutes : I simply write a lot on the paper, and this JPEG is the result I liked most, scanned and a bit smoothed (I can send you a larger file if you want). Don't expect me to do the final touches to make it really nice, though, for me the "fun" part is over with such a JPEG I hope the way I choosed to make the "r" in this JPEG is understood, I'm never sure about foreign way of writing (I'm French).

Emmanuel -
That looks great. Thank you very much. This goes along with my theory that most magicians are the nicest people you would ever want to meet (please note that I did say "most.") Dave

I have been playing with these since reading "Angels & Demons" (which, for the record, I found to be a better book than the Da Vinci code, but that's neither here nor there).
below is a "Magic" that I did. I found the basic M/CIG letter form somewhere on the net (I believe they had done the word magically or magick or...something) modified it, altered the A and gave it a slightly more graffiti styled feel... Dave, I'll try to play with your name this weekend. Do you prefer it to be "David" or "Dave"? E Click here to view attached image.
Your EFFECT is only as good as its AFFECT.

Dave or David. Doesn't matter. Whichever makes the ambigram look cooler
Thanks

Well I sat down and made an ambigram of my name. I still have to clean it up a bit, but it already looks great.

So here is the "JeffTeate" ambigram I came up with...
I tried differently but in the end I could not avoid the "one-letter-by-one-letter ambigram" which are not the nicest ones, but hey, at least there's something to see. Click here to view attached image. |

EmmanuelM, Thank you oh so much, with your permission I am going to have that embroidered onto a hat. Also I got your E-mail. To second another above "Most magi are the friendliest and creative among the human race"
