Thanks Dale for pointing me towards Al Schneider's site. I've been studying a few of his ring routines the past month and really like his style.

Just bought a few of his coin tricks from the site.. 'Osmosis' almost made my eyes pop out the first time I watched it. Great stuff and beautifully explained.

Cheers Dale

Worth looking at a few of the previous episodes on the site, too, for example http://www.omenquest.com/wmcezine/i002/imain.htm has a pretty comprehensive copper/silver article.

So I looked for some work by Stone and Bobo. My only issue is that all the sites(and therefore prices) are based in Europe. I live in America. So anything I can more readily get here that you might know of?

Search USA based sites like Amazon, eBay, penguinmagic.com, murphysmagic.com, magic.org, etc.

.....Didn't think of that. I just googled them.


I feel stupid now.

Get the hardbound Bobo, not the dover edition, if you can. The dover edition has quite a lot of material missing that was in the latter editions.

Really? I did not know that. What's missing? (roughly and importantly - I don't hope for a full list!)

the hard back edition has the word enlarged on the cover.


The dover version still has all the essential information in it.
which is fine for the beginner.And i would rather they bought this, than download it from a torrent site.



I only have the dover.

A list of the contents of the hardbound (enlarged) version is http://magicref.tripod.com/books/bobocoin.htm . I don't have a comparison, although roughly its the contents of chapter 17 and onwards that are added. All the basic stuff is in both versions, but things like the goshman pinch are in the enlarged version.

More importantly, the hardbound version pays royalties to the bobo estate, the dover edition does not. The dover edition was published without permission of the Bobo family, and contains the public domain section of MCM, you can get a basically identical version to it from the learned pig project.
