By way of introduction, I would like to share a study guide that I write and ask that members please assist me in gathering material for future study guides. Here 'tis:

http://www.austinmagic.org/sam/studyguide.html

I have held offices of Secretary, VP, President of local IBM and SAM organizations and am a Past Regional VP of The Society of American Magicians.....Have been in magic and related stuff for 60 years, am a retired military officer, retired college teacher, and retired magician.

As I said, my desire is to continue to use research skills to locate training material which I wish to share with all who are worthy....Just so you know, I do not believe in blatant exposure of secrets and have taken great care to see that my study guides maintain the expected standards of internet magic guides.

Right now, I would appreciate posts here regarding suggestions for tricks and/or routines about any and all holidays, as I will be giving such a lecture at a local IBM meeting in December.....Anything magic and holiday related would be appreciated....

:wink: pie

Nice to meet you guys

gunnarkr: My son did a tour in a remote location in Iceland; he said it was an easy "remote" tour....I would imagine that it is beautiful in the summer, but it might be a bit cool for a Texan in the winter.... :)

Where do you ride on roller coasters?
