Well, I'm not sure who's "supposed" to launch these things, but since books are my thing, I want to get this party started. Let's discuss what book deserves the prestigious 2020 Magic Café Book of the Year award! I know 2020 wasn't always great, but there sure were a lot of good books, so let's get busy picking which one was the best. As others have done, I'll plagiarize the rules, then let us get to the good stuff...
Who will win The Tarbell for 2020?! What is your favorite book that was released in 2020? Please submit up to 3 entries and we'll tally them up on February 15. 1. 2. 3. _______________________________________________________________ And, gang, Jamie D. Grant knows firsthand how much of an impact this thread will have on someone's life. Seriously. The prestige from this little thread will drive their sales through the roof. So please let's take this seriously, say nothing but nice things, and have fun! We're going to change someone's life! RULES: _____________ To help reduce drama (we can never eliminate it, I'm afraid) let's try and keep to the following... Vote with Book Title and the Writer Name. Please submit 3 Entries(if you're able). You must have 50+ posts on the Magic Café for your vote to count. If you're new, that gives just over a month to join in the community and share in our passion. It is impossible to police or enforce a "no asking your clients, friends, etc to vote" rule and, personally, I think it's silly to ask people not to share their excitement. How can you have a contest if you're not allowed to talk about it?! On that note, I ask that you please... Don't offer financial incentives. Encourage people to vote for 3, if possible (I know it's harder to find 3 books in a single year than an effect) not just one. Limit the number of your announcements to 3 times. I trust people (perhaps that's a fault, lol) but I also trust the voting public to choose what they truly feel is the best and not just what someone tells them to do. Lastly, this is a thread for JOY. Let me be clear- HAPPINESS! Any post that is not a vote or is something positive, I will ask for it to be deleted. There are other places on the Café (Right or wrong) for political discussions. But they won't be here. Sweet Marie- wish me luck (I mean for moderating this thread), lol... _____________________________________ PREVIOUS WINNERS of The Tarbell ______________________________________ 2000: no voting took place 2001: no voting took place 2002: no voting took place 2003: no voting took place 2004: no voting took place 2005: Dear Mr Fantasy, John Bannon 2006: Power Plays, Mike Power 2007: Session/547, Joshua Jay 2008: Approaching Magic, David Regal 2009: Magic: 1400s to 1950s, Mike Cavenry 2010: One Degree, John Guastaferro 2011: Researching 2012: Luca Volpe, Emotional Mentalism 2013: The Approach, by Jamie D.

1) Reflections by John Carey
2) Rubinstein Coin Magic by Dr. Michael Rubinstein 3) Eugene Burger: From Beyond by Lawrence Hass and Eugene Burger (Not sure if this qualifies for 2020 as it was released in very late 2019 like Reflections which is on the referenced list of 2020 releases). |
