Hello brothers and sisters in mystery and entertainment. I'm working on a new project this year that I hope may be of some interest and help to some of you. As a virtually unknown full-time professional of many years (I did my first paid shows in the late 1980s), and not much of a convention-goer, I've decided to reach out to the community in my own special way.
I've started a page on my site called "Esoterica." (Not to sound fancy or anything; it was just the word that came to mind when I was trying to sum up what it is I'm trying to do). It is basically a mentalists/magicians-only page (password protected) where I share some of my personal reviews of books, products, performance venues, my own professional insights, handlings of effects, and anything else I care to put up on there. Especially if you're fairly new to performing magic/mentalism, I think you'll find some stuff pretty helpful. However, I also welcome feedback and discussion among my fellow pros. All discussions and comments must remain constructive and civil. There is also a place to sign up for email updates on the page, as well as a comment section. Don't worry; I'm not a spammer nor am I trying to sell anything. The emails simply let you know when updates to the page have been made (i.e. new content). To start things off, I've created a short intro video, as well as a review of the newly-released book by Scott St. Clair--YLEM. https://curtisthementalist.com/esoterica/ Password is The3mpty5afe I look forward to connecting with many of you!

I've been told that the password isn't working. The password I've given is indeed correct. If you are using a Google Chrome browser, try hitting "Back" after entering in the password and submitting it when you get the blank screen. Not sure why this is happening and I'm trying to find out on my end. Must be a WordPress glitch of some kind.

Also, make sure that you are not accidentally entering in an "s" into the password. Some have copied and pasted the password from here and had it work. Just an FYI from those who have said that they were unable to get the password to work.
Also, please note that I'm inviting both magicians and mentalists to join in. This is not for mentalists only. I will be posting content for both. For what it's worth. Thanks to many of you who have already subscribed to the page!

I apologize to everyone who has tried to log into the page unsuccessfully. I've spent a good part of my day today trying to resolve the issue, but it appears to be some glitch with WordPress, a caching issue, or a plug-in conflict of some sort. So far I've been unable to completely resolve it.
The frustrating thing is that I've had this same site for years and no such problems like this have ever occurred. The problems I'm seeing most are with Google Chrome browsers. Right now, even after clearing my cache repeatedly and even the website's own cache, testing plug-ins, etc., my Chrome browser won't let me log into the page at all. With Safari I found no problems and it works every time. I have not tested Mozilla, Firefox or any other browsers. I'm curious to know if anyone has any issues with other browsers. I appreciate those of you who have taken the time to message me about issues that you are seeing. I'm working to resolve this as quickly as possible.

Some times when folks copy stuff they copy an extra space at the end and don't know it.
Then they paste this and since you cannot see the password when pasted they don't see the space. This is what I've noticed anyway. I had absolutely no problem signing in. |

So far what makes this so strange is that the tech support people that are looking into it aren't able to replicate the issue. They have no problem signing in and getting it to work.
Yet the only way I can sign into it is through the backend of my website. I appreciate everyone's patience, but I cannot explain why some people can't seem to sign in and others can. Still working on it.

Please do work on it, Curt. You often have a unique way of looking at the art. I look forward to seeing this.

I just had a couple of tech support people test it and they've told me they cannot replicate the issue. It was tested in Chrome, Firefox, and Opera. They claim that when they input the password, they are instantly able to see the content. Not sure what to do when the tech support people for my website say they can't find anything wrong with it on their end. Except maybe laugh maniacally and bang my head into the wall.

Well friends, after much back and forth with tech support and attempts at back-end tweaking, I've decided to simply make this page public. Even though tech support guaranteed me that the page was working fine, it seems that it actually wasn't for many people, no matter what I did.
There is now no password required to view the content on the page. However, since I plan on occasionally discussing methods and distributing other esoteric, industry-related knowledge, all future updates to the page will only be made available to those who subscribe to the email updates or who simply have the presence of mind to check in on it every now and then. Thanks for all who have subscribed, future subscribers, and the kind words I've received from a select few of you.

Latest Update: Just put up a new video on the page. Thanks to the many of you who have subscribed, and to all of the new ones coming in daily. I hope the content so far is helpful.
Due to technical problems before, I had to disable the Facebook comments section at the bottom of the page, but now I have it up and working again. So if you are logged in to your Facebook account you can comment on the page after viewing the videos and I welcome your comments and questions. Also want to mention again there is NO PASSWORD REQUIREMENT any longer to view the page. Hope you're all having a great week! https://curtisthementalist.com/esoterica/
